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.

Where did you travel to in 2012?

People always ask me where was my favorite place that I traveled to, it is almost impossible to answer. Having seen many parts of the world I do have some favorites but let's save that for another day. In 2012 I had the privilege to go to Mexico City, Istanbul (2nd time) and Easter Island (most people do not even know where Easter Island is...Here is a map to see...over 2,000 miles off of the coast of Chile).

I am going to attach some links to my flickr account for those 3 trips...
