The next morning, we ran into Mitch, Barry and Gregory after breakfast as Mitch was preparing to do one final interview
and I recorded a page of the menu at the Alef Restaurant at the hotel where we are staying
before we recorded our distances to many points on the globe
and took a quick look at the Wawel Castle and Cathedral that we'd be seeing later
as we made our way down what is thought to be the oldest street in Krakow (though by day's end we had heard about Prince Krak who killed the dragon and I doubt that it was on this street)
and noticed that because the pope had lived on this street, there were various markers of this
along with the interesting facades we saw
and I was able to get an excellent of the church of St. Peter and Paul to which I was too close yesterday
and the fountain there
before we made our way to the Main Square and noted the Cloth Hall
and this model of the town hall tower
with explanation
before I recorded the tower itself (by walking back quite a distance)
and a side view of the cloth hall
and then we took on the sculpture
by the local sculptor
and then considered the sculpture
as it related to the town hall
and as Suzanne read about the sculpture
this man offered to give us a tour of the town. We got directions from him
and then focused on artistic shots into
and through the sculpture (note Suzanne in the background)
before recording St. Mary's church across the square
amid the flower markets
and began what would amount to a few pictures of alkohole stores (because the concept seemed so odd to us)
but we were looking for the Barbican and so this sign was quite helpful
but not as amusing as this bike's owner who had left it in bubble blowing mode
as we passed another alkohole
and found our way to the Barbican
which was worth a picture
and we took another of the Black Mariah
as we headed back to purchase a singing bird from this gentleman
but chose not to eat fresh
because we knew that after passing the hip-hop stuff
we'd want one of the street bagel-like objects
which we got and devoured
leaving virtually nothing for the pigeons
though Suzanne did use the occasion to shop in the Cloth Hall
while I watched the crowds and took the obligatory phone booth picture
before we marched on to my new found friend
and then on to Wawel castle
where we followed the ramp up the hill
noting the Poles who had contributed
and then made our way through the gate
into the outer courtyard
for views of the cathedral
and then of this statue
and the broad area
as we made our way through the passage
to the inner courtyard
where I stood in the place of the chakras but did not transcend
and next we studies the model of the entire castle area
while going off to view the Vistula below
and catching the smallest view of the dragon slain by Prince Krak who founded the city.
Next we walked down the path
to the shops by the river
and found the dragon
who breathed fire for us.
On our way away from the dragon we walked the path of fame and noted that Michael Jackson is important here as well
and we admired the river setting
not to mention another alkohole
as we made our way to the painted car in the outsider art district
and took pictures of the shop owner from whom we purchased.
Next we made our way to the square with the round building where the zapiekanka's are sold
and joined the line
so that I could order mine with corn
and Suzanne could order hers with salami and cheese.
All of this activity made us thirsty and so we stopped at a cafe and had some beer
where I decided to start collecting the license plates of the world starting with Poland.
as we walked away, I noted this Jewish style restaurant
this poster for the Jewish festival
and this hotel offering a unique array of services
all the while capturing license plates of the Netherlands
and Germany.
For dinner, we went to the very elegant Pod Aniotami restaurant
where this was the place setting
as Suzanne was illuminated by candle
as we studied the menu
and note the mosaic fountain where one can make a wish to return (we didn't feel so inspired)
and I ordered this glass of sweet vodka
as Suzanne had her glass of wine
and lard was brought as a treat
as we dined on pickles
a shared salad
bass for Suzanne
and a tasty mixture of chantrelle mushrooms and gnocchi for me.
To end the evening, we stopped at a cafe by the main square and Suzanne had her tea
while I had my ice cream dessert.
