Russia: Spring Break 2007

Friends and Family,
I hope you all received my letter with a recap of my trip; hopefully these pictures will give you a better idea of some of the places and people we experienced and worked with. They're in reverse order, so you'll have to start a ways down to start at the beginning of my trip (Not all the way down; that's my trip to Poland, but enjoy those pictures too if you'd like!). Thanks for taking the time to look at them, and please leave comments or questions under the pictures!

Thanks!
Dan Haller

Poland Pictures

Friends and family,

These pictures are mostly scenery and places we went; there aren't many ministry shots, I apologize. When we were with the Polish people, it was more about being real and talking with them than taking pictures of everyone...just in case you thought by looking at the pictures that all we did was have fun and not do any ministry! :)

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to start (they're in reverse order for some reason).
They are in chronological order, starting with Krakow, then Auschwitz/Birkenau, Katowice, and finally Gdansk.

To get a better view of each picture, just click on it and it will open in a new window, bigger and clearer.

Please feel free to make a comment about any picture(s) or anything else...I'd love to hear from you. To leave a comment, click on the "comment" button at the bottom of each post. There are 4 posts; one for each place I went.

Enjoy looking and reading, and thanks again for all your support!

Thanks,
Dan
