July 7th--The Chicago Flight
These were the craziest lines I've ever seen for checking in for a flight. I used to arrive four hours early for the Chicago flight and it would have served me well this time. I waited in line for 2 hours to check in! I was not happy by the time I got on the plane.

When I saw the rain I tried to hop the next flight to Chicago. No luck! Despite being drenched, I enjoyed seeing the Warsaw Uprising Museum, eating pierogi and nalesniki and practicing some Polish. I haven't forgotten all of it!

Renee and I went hiking in the Samaria Gorge. The bus dropped us off at the entrance
