A Morning of Tears

Friday was the dreaded day of departure...
We all knew it would happen, but it seemed to go by so quickly. 

We woke up, finished packing, and before we knew it we had to be on the bus.  There wasn't much time for long goodbyes so we hugged the few we wouldn't see anymore.

We took a bus to Wroclaw, where we would stay for the night and the next day.  When we arrived, we had a wonderful Hostel waiting for us.  It was cozy, comfy, and 6 of us girls shared a room.  After settling in, we went around the city and looked for food.  What we found along the way was much different then what we were expecting.  There was all kinds of frames and stadiums being built in the town square.  We later found out that that was all a part of the Euro 2012 games that would be happening soon.  It was so neat to see all of the building happening right in the middle of everything.


We went to eat, and then we went off to explore.  Wroclaw is known for gnomes.  Apparently there are over 100 gnomes hiding across the city.  I find that hard to believe due to the struggle I had just to find 10!  

Here are some of the gnomes I was able to find:








 Some gnomes were harder to see than others due to some of the streets being blocked off.  In some pictures you can see the frames being built.  

For the rest of the night, we enjoyed the free wifi, free TV, Foosball, tea, and snack and just relaxed.  It was all a little bittersweet because we knew it was our last night in Poland.
