Poland

Hola amigos, I am currently in Poland and have been here for a little less than two weeks. I would kill for a carne asada burrito right now, its not even normal. Agghh. So much has happened while I've been here, it's crazy! My sister and her husband met me here and we have been staying with some of their friend in Warsaw, so it's been fun and nice to have familiar faces around.
The second night I got here we went to go see Bad Religion in concert which was amazing!! We all had a hefty amount of alcohol in our systems and so I decided that I was suddenly a mosher --- iinn my rainbow sandals. Not such a good idea, but it was really fun. So after the concert I'm all stoked on Bad Religion, etc and we all went out to get food and drinks, where I proceeded to black out drinking cherry vodka. Supposedly I was lecturing my 29 year old sister on her life, which wasn't embarassing enough for my own standards so I continued to pass out on the couch and puke on it in my sleep. Awesome job, idiot. I'm with all these people who are actual adults and don't pull shit like this anymore so I was pretty much humiliated. Who pukes in their sleep?
So once this whole fiasco blew over, we went on this adventure and repelled down a cave. Seriously it was sooo awesome. I felt like Indiana Jones. You are just dangling from some ropes and slowly lower yourself down into the cave, which was more than 100 feet deep. All you can see is your little beam of light from your headlamp soo it's pretty creepy, especially when your little light is exposing the plethora of bats and spiders covering the walls of the cave. When you come back up, you're dangling at least 100 feet in the air above a cave and it is scary as SHIT. Literally, I've never been more scared in my life and considered yelling my last wishes to my sister. All in all, though, it was amazing... especially since I didn't die.
A few days later, we went to Auschwitz-Birkenau and checked out the concentration camp. It was so crazy to walk around where all these people died and lived in such terrible conditions. Definitely a really sad and interesting experience, but I'm so glad to have seen it.
Our last adventure in Poland was a kayaking trip. So fun! We kayaked like 45 or more kilometers over 3 days and at night stayed in little cabins along the river. It was really cool to see the beautiful Polish countryside! During the day we would get shwasty drinking beers on the kayaks which always made things a little more interesting. Kayaking whilst fucked up is kinda a terrible idea, considering kayaks flip over SO easily, but we managed to keep it real and not kill ourselves.
Welp, I am all done with most of the recent events of my travels and everything. Love to everyone :) -- peace out
