So (mother), here's a very brief update:
Spent the afternoon exploring Kazimierz (the old Jewish district of Krakow) with Ricky, Rebecca and Dejana. Went with the hope of browsing the antique market, but there were only a handful of stalls - we think maybe because of the inclement weather. However, I had a zapiekanka (think I've mentioned them before - but the Polish version of pizza, but on bread) and Dejana showed us some nice bars and coffee shops, and a great bookstore. It contained mostly books about the Holocaust in English - there were so many, which surprised me, but then there were so many people affected by the atrocity - and also Polish literature, recipe books, calendars and so forth. It was clearly aimed at tourists, although there were a few books in Polish.
For tea we (I say we - me and some of the Americans -, but it was mostly Rochelle, and anything that wasn't was under her direction) cooked up a delicious meal of fajitas, complete with a Mexican desert (I can't remember the name). All-in-all, a good way to spend a Friday afternoon.
Now have to prepare for the bad weather that seems to be coming, and staying, in Krakow - back down to 3 degrees on Sunday with a chance of snow! Tomorrow might be spent exploring museums to keep out of the weather (rainy and windy).
Cześć, Fiona
