Okay, so I know everyone was just dying to know what a lungfish looks like, so here it is... everyone's favorite sarcopterygii. Notice the lovely lobed fins (where the muscle goes all the way into the fin, not just at the top). These lobed fins were what preceded the limbs of land dwellers such as ourselves.
This goes back a while ago, but I just thought I'd put up a picture of Kimmy and her future husband/pen friend dancing... Just in case everyone is wondering... in every picture of them dancing, Mike (Mikolai) has a huge smile on his face.
Kristin convinced me to go on the teeter totter with her... so, as a result she got her picture taken.
Here's the gang at the memorial on Westerplatte. It really helps you to see just how massive that memorial was!
And we fast forward to just a few days ago, while visiting Biskupin, the pre-slavic village/museum. There were some incredibly cute ponies, distinct to Poland, hanging around the village, and of course we had to pet them. :-) Here's Jessica loving the Polish pony, who is happily munching away on some grass.
Speeding along in time, this is the tower in Uniejow Castle, which we stayed overnight in as we already know. Most of us climb this tower, which was so awesome! How often do you get to explore in your own hotel? The view from the top was beautiful, of the surrounding countryside.
While Kimmy, Jessica, Amanda, Kristin and I roamed about the park by the castle, the sun was beginning to set, casting golden light everywhere and creating interesting shadows. This is my attempt at an artistic photo.
Another attempt at an artistic shot, this time at the castle/palace we stopped at along our way to Zakopane.
Finally, here we are at the top of Gublowka Mountain, with the snow-topped Tatra mountains in the background. The view was spectacular, as you can surely see!Hope you all enjoyed the pictures and that everything is wonderful and dandy back at home!
