Wow . . . Krakow 2

More from my time in Krakow.


Rural landscape

Aerial performers in the Town Square


A furnace in my hotel.

Jewish Neighborhood

The only active synagogue in the city.

The Jewish Neighborhood

This is Pope John Paul II.
He is standing in front of the seminary he attended.

Another church

This is a very ornamental church.
The doors to this magnificent sculptures are opened at noon each day.
The left door is open.  The right one, no yet.

I'm in the courtyard of a museum of one of the oldest universities in the country.

The tall statue on the right is an Academy Award.  Schindler's List was filmed here.
Not sure who was awarded the Academy Award.

This is a Nobel Award.  Again, i'm not sure who received this.

Another furnace in the corner.

A palace.
Some random thoughts . . .

There are 145 churches in this city alone.

Ninety-five percent of the people are Catholic.

The George Zimmerman Trial was covered by the local media outlets here.

Mayonnaise was served with french fries, reminding me of a scene between John Travolta and Samuel l. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.

The restrooms were called toilets.  In many places they're referred to by the initials WC, meaning water closet.

I saw several men wearing capri pants.  Not the best look for a guy.

And finally . . .

Men wear their wedding bands on their right hand.

Until next time,

Your blogging buddy.
