I woke up around noon and went on a tour of the city with everyone. I exchanged a lot of money to zloty and got a SIM card to use in my phone. All I had to do was get my phone unlocked to use a foreign SIM card. We toured the famous church in the city center (Kościół Mariacki). It was amazingly detailed in there and I hope my art class takes us there to study it all. Then we walked towards Wawel castle and on our way we ate at the famous Bar Mleczny. I got a crepe type lunch and it was tasty, but I couldn't finish it.
Wawel castle was impressively big. We had to walk up steep cobble stone roads to get to the main castle and once we got there, it was beautiful. Finally, we went searching for the castle dragon (Smok Wawelski). We want to walk through the dragon's cave, but it's closed until April, so we walked back down to the statue of the dragon and took pictures. We then left to go back to the dorms and get ready for more students to arrive. I finally unpacked everything and I am liking being in Poland a lot better now that I know what's going on. All there is to do now is get internet in my room, figure out what to eat daily, and get a monthly tram pass.
