Your great grandma was from White Russia. Possibly Latvia area—Hanna Horowitz-- Her mom was Sarha Dorkin. No wonder they liked you, you are kin!!!!!!!! - email from my Aunt Carol
That message was just toooo funny not to share with you all.
Right now we are in Krakow, and had a nice time chatting with two kiwi girls (from New Zealand) who gave us heaps of good advice on Turkey and shared their wonderful tourist stories from Croatia, and Bosnia. They are very adventurous, Alison and I couldn't imagine us taking a bus around Sarajevo. We heard from a Stockholm hasher that the hash there (yes, even Sarajevo hash a hash house harrier club!)can't set false trails as it makes the local military groups nervous when they see random people running all over the city in different directions yelling to each other. We spent the day yesterday in Auschwitz, quite intense. We couldn't believe how huge the place is, and with many of the original structures still standing. Today we're going to check out the Jewish neighborhood, where only150 Jews are left since the devastation of the holocaust. Next trip is Prague, where we are meeting up with hasher friends (the running club again!) and joining them for a weekend event in Kutna Hora. Thanks again for everyone who forwarded me my previously written email. And I still love hearing from all of you who respond, even if it's just a line. They all make me smile.
Love, Carla
