thanks for posting these! They are wonderful pictures.
I fell in love with Krakow. It had that old college town feel but
much more classy and old world than anything in the states.
If I ever get the money and bone up on my Polish I would love to go back.

Did you go to the one night club/bar there?
It was a trip.
They had these little old grandmas manning the women's room.
It was so wierd. A dirty bar, with drinking and smoking and girls in slutty club clothes and this
little old babcia in a head scarf taking zwoty and re-stocking the paper towels.

hmmm. It had to have been 8 or 9 years ago. There were several bars, but we only found one club that had dancing and music.

I also enjoyed the salt mine pictures and the link. It was funny, when we went, my mother buying all these expensive trinkets for her freinds and mine were all thrilled with a bag of salt! How was the air in Krakow? When we went it was like being in second hand smoke 24/7, even though they had taken steps to reduce pollution created by the communist-run gov't (they were apaprently not big environmentalists).

The air in the mines was so clean, it was a perfect antidote for the time above ground. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
