Zary Day's (June 1)

After we left Auschwitz-Birkenau we drove to Zary. Zary was the place where Count Richard discovered that he was married to a woman that is the lone descendent of the Von Promnitz family. We arrived in time to have dinner at the hotel. SUPRISE!!! Only the girls and a few guys were going to be staying in this hotel. A good number of the guys were going to be going to another hotel later that night. We called the guys hotel the Bro-Tel. Many of us thought that the other hotel was in a sketchy part of town or that it was a crappy place. Let me tell you this was not the case but I will get to that in a short while.

After dinner we walked to the church to have a brief rehearsal for the mass we were singing at the following morning. 

Lisa is Happy!

Ellie looks super pumped!

After rehearsal the guys boarded our bus and we were driven to the Bro-Tel. On the way we passed Zary Day's. It was a merry gathering of eating, drinking, rides, and music. All of the guys on the bus were like "We are so going to that." And sure enough we rounded a corner and saw the Anatol hotel. We quickly unloaded our stuff and walked literally across the street to Zary Day's. There we got some food, something to drink, and saw this polish person perform named Anja. We listened to her perform and at the end of the concert she came out and was signing autographs. So what did we do? We tried to get one as well. Tony pulled out the only thing he had on him... a 10 dollar bill. She of course did not sign this but gave him a signed picture. All that I had was my emergency phone contact card. She too gave me a signed picture and I managed to have her assistant to take a picture of me with her. So that was pretty sweet. She was talking with the polish news and we were definitely in the back of the camera. So we are only in Poland for a few days and we already made it onto the news. Dan even managed to get her to sign is t-shirt.
