Krakow, Poland
Pictures: Craig's
A three hour train ride took Craig and I from Warsaw to Krawkow, Poland.
Like Warsaw, Krakow sits along the Vistula River and has an "Old Town"; only this one wasn't destroyed during the WWII. It's also the location of Wawel Hill, which consists of a Cathedral, Castle and a Dragon's Den.
Krakow is also home to 1 of 3 Leonardo da Vinci oil paintings, "Lady with an Ermine". It's really odd - check out the creepy hands - but I heard that many Polish people own a copy of the painting and hang it in their homes. They are so proud to be one of the few countries that own a "da Vinci".
Meals are excellent, the weather has been good to us and the city has solidified our overall great impression of Poland. (p.s. I don't ALWAYS wear that blue fleece, just for the record....)
