Hope y'all had a great Easter! I had a wonderful time in Krakow. It is such a beautiful place and the weather was quite nice. I took a tour of the castle. I wasn't able to the last time I was there. It was really interesting. And I did a lot of shopping. I found a book store that didn't inflate the prices of English books like they do in the Czech Republic. It was a dangerous place to be. But I showed self-restraint and only bought two books. Although, Penny sent me back with five more. Now I should have a few books to keep me occupied for a while. I have been keeping a log of all the books I have read here, something I wish I had done my whole life. The total is around thirty now. I average a book a week. I think it would be interesting to know how many books I have read in my life. Too late now I guess.
I saw The Passion of Christ on Good Friday. What a powerful film. I still haven't digested it all. It had Polish subtitles so I feel I missed a lot of the dialog. I wanted to know what Simon the Cyrene said to Jesus while he was helping him with the cross. What an impact that must have made on him. The Latin dialog was easier for me to understand but I still feel I didn't get it all. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to go. It doesn't matter what your spiritual beliefs are, this film recreates an historical event that changed the world. It shows the true depravity of humanity and leaves a lot to consider. I want to see it when I get home so I can read the subtitles in English. Well, I need to prepare some lessons so I will sign off. Have a great week!
