On Monday, Silke comes home...
on Tuesday, Andrea leaves.
Andrea, one of my flatmates, will be returning to Romania to look for a job. She won't be returning to Budapest. It's sad, but also we have to remember that if this is what God has called her to do, this is where she NEEDS to be.
Please pray for Andrea as she spends her last weekend in Budapest and prepares to make her journey home. Also, continue to pray for her - that she will find work and that she will be able to decipher God's call on her life.

Wawel Castle in Krakow, Poland is a place of great significance to the Polish people. Archaeological findings suggest that the castle was first settled in the 4th century, although the castle that stands today was started in the 9th century. The cathedral began in 1018. In 1038, Krakow became the royal seat of Poland. In 1306, a fire destroyed part of the cathedral. In the early 1500s, the royal seat was completely rebuilt during a very prosperous time. In 1595, another fire destroyed parts of the castle. In 1795, Austrians took it over. 110 years later, in 1905, the Austrians left and restoration began.
Alen and I didn't get much of a chance to explore since we got there around closing time, but it was still pretty sweet!
the view from the castle...
Smok Wawelski, also known as The Dragon of Wawel Hill - who is very famous in Polish folklore
