Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp

Entrance to Auschwitz. The sign says "Work will Free You".

 I walked where people marched to their death.  I walked out of gas chambers that people in the concentration camp never walked out of.  A man who survived Auschwitz said, "You survive by luck, health, age, and a strong psyche." 
I don't know, I cannot comprehend it.

Norge

Woot Woo, I am here in Norway. I may or may not have missed my flight to Oslo because I was at the wrong airport. You should all lean towards that I did miss it :) Went to the wrong airport then took a taxi to the bus station then finally got to the airport and got a new ticket.
Life lesson #3: always look over your ticket thoroughly and don't assume anything because let me tell you when you assume it makes you want to cuss :)
