I flew into Dieppe near Moncton, New Brunswick today from Toronto as I had been there for work during the week and stayed there for the weekend, but unfortunately didn't arrive in N.B. until 8:00 pm. So there was sightseeing that I was going to be doing today. When I got off the plane and met Mom and Dad in the baggage claim area of the airport, one of the first things they told is that it's a good thing I'm short! Random comment, right?

Poland: Part II July 6th to 13th On Monday, Jakub, his roommate and I went to the Wielickza Salt Mine. The salt mine was really cool. We were 135m below the surface at the deepest part, and the mine is now a Unesco site. It's been operating for... Hmm... 700 years? At least since the mid 1600s for sure.
