I just returned from Krakow and Warsaw, Poland...

Having been to almost every EU country I was happily surprised with the beauty and history of Poland. Not truly knowing how traumatized Poland was during WW2 by the Germans and later on the Russians, it was an eye opening trip for me. We did also go to Auschwitz-Birkenau along with seeing the beautiful Wilanow Palace outside of Warsaw.

Just got back from Vienna and Budapest...

Having been to Vienna and Budapest in the 90's I was excited to go back and see the two cities again. I was much better prepared for this trip and have about 4 days in each city. A friend of mine from New York is from Baden, a small city about 30 minutes outside of Vienna so I went to meet them for a day too.
Took over 2,000 photos over the 8 days not including my Bratislava and Dusseldorf photos, I was there each for a few hours on the trip too.
