Poland: All Souls Day

Tonight we went to the graveyard. It's All Souls Day here which is a Catholic holiday to celebrate the dead. We bought candles outside the cementary at one of the many shops set up to sell candles and flowers.

We then entered the graveyard and the experience was incredible. There were thousands of people and candles everywhere. 
This was one of the neatest things I have ever seen. We found graves with no candles and left ours there. 
They also had a church in the center of the graveyard and were conducting mass and the church bells were ringing. 
During this walk we lost Rosie and Hannah and we also couldn't find the meeting point we were supposed to meet at. So we prayed and walked to the street and bam there they were. Another miracle for us. 
Then when trying to leave we couldn't figure out how to get back and a lady came up to us and told us what to do and then showed us where to get off the train. We are very blessed.
Also on this day we went to dinner at the cutest restaurant and had pumpkin creme brûlée. 
Look how cute this place is!
Rosie did my hair
We found a chocolate shop.
Rosie and chocolate is hilarious.
