Wow, I could really come back here...for a while

Krakow is a gorgeous, old city city. Not to be cliche but you can "feel" the history in it's stones and buildings. We took a walking tour of the city today, it cost us 42 zoltys which is approximately 17 dollars for a three hour tour with our own guide, well there were 3 other people on it but close enough. Our tour guide Lukas, who looked just like Adam and Andrew's friend Timmy Smith, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of very interesting information with us. The city has a center square which is a great place to sit and have a few Zywiec and Warka, Polish beers, and watch the world go by. We all really wish we had similar places in the states to enjoy but I guess thats what makes Europe so special to us Yankees. Poland has been the most friendly place we have been, at least in my opinion, the people are willing to share their language with you and more than willing to give you their opinions. I really wish we could stay here more than two days the city is gorgeous and it feels like we have stepped back into time. Tomorrow we are going to Auschwitz for a 6 hour tour, which cost us 80 zolty. And despite our American jokes about Polish people, they are very intelligent, politics, history, language its amazing. We appreciate all your comments, keep them coming, we love reading them. Peace out.

I grew up in New Brighton, MN and there were alot of polish (polack's as they called themselves) in my town. They were all very nice, hard working people. I wish I could experience the country with you. Perhaps the Ya Ya's can travel there. It is great to hear from you again. Remember to add your new beer selections to your list. Do you each have a favorite yet. We will have a get together and sample some of them.

What's up guys. This is Andrew's older cousin Troy. Sounds like you are having a great time! I wish I was there with you. I really like the 'beers we have tried' section. Have a blast and stay safe! Make sure you have a Stauder Pils in Germany.
