Ready for a day of nothing!

I've been fighting a pretty significant cold for over a week now. We've really taken it slow today and that is good. I have a few days of taking it slower coming up. It is so much needed and hopefully it will help me get over this nagging cold.

Today Yoni and Ken and I just walked around. We went to the Jewish district here. We just went into one synagogue and ate lunch down there. It was good and short. As we were walking back to the city center we decided to check out this castle. Not that was cool. We took a tour of the "private apartments" and saw some really great art. The rooms we saw were inhabbited by Polish kings at different points. During WW2 the rooms were occupied by the Nazi's. I hadn't realized how torn a part Poland had been for many years by war. This country has been split up and reunited many times in its history.

We spent some time at the internet cafe. (hence my catching up on some bloggling) Later we'll find a place for our final dinner together in Poland. I leave for Stuttgart, Germany tomorrow. I will be staying at a hotel tomorrow night! I'm so looking forward to a hotel. Hostels are cheap but not having my own space is a bit of a challenge! I really hope the hotel will provide the much needed respite!

Saturday I'm on to Rome. Wow, that is so cool. Did I really just use the words "I" and "Rome" in the same sentence? ; )
