Hi there, I finally feel somewhat human again. Katie and I are able to get online inside the Teachers work room. This is the network I have been detecting since we arrived but because of the cinder block construction, the signal was too weak to connect to from my dorm room. I'll have to take pics of the buildings and post those later. They are typical buildings that were constructed during the cummunist period, very stark and dreary by even Polish standards.
Lets see.....We're 6 hours ahead of Atlanta so jet lag was pretty easy to overcome. It is colder here than I was anticipating, I don't think it will get out of the 50's this week and I think we're heading to the mountains this weekend to site see... "Brrrrrr"!
Here are a few pics that I took yesterday, they are the first of many.
This is the "City Centre" in Krakow. It's literally the center of the city. Lots of shops, restaurants, Mid Evil churches, theaters etc. No cars, every one is on foot inside this area which I believe is approximately 10-13 Square Kilometers? I'll have to double check that number.
This is a shot of outdoor cafe's in the center square.
The famous altar inside St. Mary's Basilika (worlds most ornate).
This is the center of the square, it just so happened to be "Childrens Day" yesterday, a national holiday like Mother's Day, so there were children everywhere on field trips. i think there were more Polish children in the City Centre than foreign tourists.
Take care, I miss everyone but will be able to make blog posts regularly which makes me feel closer to home!!
Love you
