Headed to the mines

It is Sunday morning and I'm taking a quick break from the morning ritual of getting pretty to post a few words here. See? That's how much I love you. I am sacrificing eyeliner and lip gloss so you can hear more about our days. Its all about you, dear reader. But it is endearing. ;-)

Today we are headed out to a salt mine and museum. We've been warned that the descent is something like 372 steps down into the cold, Polish bedrock. It should be quite fantastic and at least at the end of the experience there is an elevator. We weren't quite as fortunate at the silver mine last week. Maybe 25 meters down and 18 or so meters back up a narrow winding stairway.

Descending into the ground has actually been something that occurs with frequency on our trip. We've been in tombs, mines, dungeons, jails, and even an underground lair. Yes, I said, "Welcome to my underground lair..." as we walked in. Easy punchlines are hard to resist.

Well, my time with you is up, dear reader. To make up for the meandering topic this morning, I will leave you with a few of my favorite photos from the trip thus far. These are all ones from my camera and available for viewing at Flickr. And yes, I know they are teensy resolution. I'm shooting huge and the originals take too long to upload.

OH! And before I forget I'm so excited about tomorrow. It is my vocational day and I get to visit two Chambers of Commerce. Which is where I work in Oklahoma City. Can't wait!
