Thank you so much for the comments……its good to know that others are reading about our travels. To address some of the questions in the comments:
1. I brought the books from home and also did some trade ins at hostels. I just sold a bunch for next to nothing before heading to Warsaw.
2. We have eaten very little true polish food here. In Krakow there is a ton of vegetarian restaurants, and we figure to eat there while we can. I did hit a milk bar for dinner last nigh. It was good and cheap, although slightly difficult to decipher the menu.
3. Polish beer is tasty and cheap, but neither as cheap or as tasty as Czech beer.
We are leaving Krakow and heading to Warsaw where we will be staying with Maria, a relative of a good friend in Denver (Carissa). We are excited about staying with her as it will be a nice change of pace. Yesterday we visited Auschwitz, which was (surprise) depressing. Ash has said she will write more about it.
PS – if you see this post with a picture I finally got this email posting working.
What's a milk bar? It sounds intriguing. Mom
