Long face from not being able to run around the camp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s amazing how much sightseeing you can do if you cover 6-8 miles\u00c2\u00a0before the throng of tourists gets out. \u00c2\u00a0You see, I’m accompanied by\u00c2\u00a0the exercise Nazi who is awake at the crack of dawn, running shoes on,\u00c2\u00a0and not taking no for an answer. \u00c2\u00a0So now instead of walking tours, I’m\u00c2\u00a0subjected to a running tour of the city centers and\u00c2\u00a0ancillary\u00c2\u00a0streets,\u00c2\u00a0while other sane people on vacation are sleeping, or at worst sitting\u00c2\u00a0half asleep in a picturesque coffee shop.<\/p>\n

I’ve run the streets of Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and an assortment of\u00c2\u00a0other smaller towns. \u00c2\u00a0And if Yano had her way, we would’ve done a\u00c2\u00a0couple laps around the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, as would\u00c2\u00a0be fitting her non-negotiable running nature. \u00c2\u00a0Luckily, the Polish\u00c2\u00a0were not as amused at a whip wielding wife forcing her husband to run\u00c2\u00a0at slightly above anaerobic pace.<\/p>\n

In other news, we are in Krakow, Poland, having done a tour of the\u00c2\u00a0Auschwitz camps. \u00c2\u00a0I am not much of a tour or museum person (with the\u00c2\u00a0exception of the Louvre, the Uffizi, and the Cairo Museum), but the\u00c2\u00a0visit to Auschwitz will take your breath away. \u00c2\u00a0If there is anything\u00c2\u00a0that made this entire trip worth it, it was those 2 hours and 45\u00c2\u00a0minutes. \u00c2\u00a0Words cannot do justice to it. \u00c2\u00a0Suffice to say, that it was\u00c2\u00a0the first time I saw a groups of hundreds of people speechless for an\u00c2\u00a0entire afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
