And now we Krakow

Yesterday we arrived in Krakow and checked into a hotel, courtesy of a local rotarian. The day was spent unpacking, napping, and in the evening we took a little (5 mile) stroll through various parts of the city, including Old Town.

Last night was also Laura's birthday and we treated her to an evening of Zubrowka iced apple juice and McDonald's. Actually, I think she bought her own fries because Danna and I were trying to figure out why our Happy Meal had Arby's fries in it.

Today we spent the day touring the real countryside. It was all farmland and tiny villages with ancient churches. We ended the day at the home of a rotarian that he purchased back from the Polish government 5 years ago. During ww2 it was taken from his family, who was a duke and duchess. The house was about 400 years old. Incredible!

Tonight we are back at the hotel and trying to use the free internet connection in the business center to get caught up on all our correspondence, photos, etc... Tomorrow we should actually have a whole new batch of photos from the trip AND a hidden video of my favorite catch phrase. Please stay tuned!
