On To Hungary

Dzien dobry,

I transferred the photos I have so far onto a CD. It works very slick to get them posted onto this blog like that. It only costs 12 zlotys (about $4.00 to get it done here in Krakow and only took about 5 minutes. Also, this Internet place in Krakow is really, really fast!

It finally rained yesterday afternoon. It had been really very hot until then. Now, there's a cooling breeze and clouds 7 sun mix. It might rain again. this afternoon. We were caught in the rain yesterday. We were on a walking tour of Kashmierz, the old Jewish Quarter. We had to huddle under an awning for 15 minutes or so because it was really coming down hard.

Today is our free day in Kracow, we leave early tomorrow to drive to Hungary. I rented a bike today with another tour member, Martha, and we biked around the Planty (the park around the Old Town) and by the Vistula River for a couple of hours. It was very fun. An old Polish man talked to us for about 10 minutes when we stopped for a water break, the only words we understood were vodka & voda (water), but he just kept on talking.

I don't seem to be able to load any more photos on this post so I'm going to continue on another.
