Polish memories
1. Hearing Poles say they love America, but America does not love them.
2. Hearing a Krakow taxi driver praise Ronald Reagan.
3. Staying in a "Jewish hotel" that can't get kosher food right and hires Poles to stage Klezmer music for German tourists.
4. Seeing the Basilica in Krakow, arguably the most beautiful church in Europe. Which is saying something. Here are some images, but they don't come close to the real thing.
5. Visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau. Words fail, but everyone should make this trip if they can.
