Lake Morskie Oko in Zakopane (Chet Jarosz)

I was fortunate enough to visit Lake Morskie Oko while in Zakopane. The lake and surrounding Tatra Mountains were breathtaking. I took this time to reflect upon my experiences thus far. My fellow travelers are knowledgeable and always ready for an adventure. Our backgrounds are as varied as the terrain we are passing through, but we find a commonality in our appreciation of this trip. Poland is far more beautiful, diverse, and complex than I had imagined. I look forward to learning more about Poland's people and experiencing its culture.
