***Pictures: wating for the bus in the rain with Lee/ memorial at Jewish cemetary/ factory mall/ my room, my bed is on the left***

Last week was kind of crazy with school and just trying to catch up on sleep. We watched a couple of movies and such but didn't do anything to exciting during the week. On Saturday I went shopping with Lee and Jessica. We were there for a couple of hours and I didn't find a single thing, sad day! Apparently my feet are too big for Europeans. That night we went to a disco and danced it up with some 30 somethings but it was a good time. We danced to rock from the 50's and 90's techno, it was pretty sweet. Sunday we went to Lodz (pronounce like woodch). We went to the Jewish cemetery which is arguably the largest in Europe. It was really interesting. Parts of it were completely covered by greenery from not being taken care of. It is disputed whether or not to clean it up because some believe it represents the disappearance of Jews from the area. We also went to a film muesem, but that was only semi-entertaining. The main road was really cool with most of the buildings dating back to the 1500's. Lodz is a really old factory town that almost completely fell after the transformation to the free market. The old factories are now being developed into new modern apartments, stores, malls, etc. We went to this really neat mall that used to be a huge factory. The architecture was amazing to see new against old like that. With so many trips, train rides, and school work we are all still battling for more sleep in our lives but that will probably have to wait until we get back to the states.
