As I promised, Pictures from our wonderful trip to Krakow, Poland


Wawel Castle

The little market that you can buy different Polish things as well as Jewlery

Of course the horse and carriage to take you around the city at night.

This was a work of art done at the Chapel inside the Salt Mine.

Inside the underground chapel at the Salt Mine. Unbelieveable how this looks and it is sooooo many feet underground!

Zurek Soup! My favorite! We had this every day, it has sausage and potatoes in it. This is a traditional Polish Dish.

The Old Synagogue

The Old Synagogue of the Kazimierz historic district in Krakow

Traditional Polish Food! Perogi (filled with meat, though you can fill them with other things as well)

Wawel Castle

I needed to take a picture next to the wall outside FULL of the "snowboarders" party promotional posters.

So Jo took us to the "opening" weekend of snowboarders party. This is us three at the beginning when we first walked in to the factory. I can say it is my first "going out" event when I was at a factory! Very cool to check out, we had a great time. And ANOTHER form of knowing people in other countries, we never would've known of some of these things if we didn't know someone in Poland. This is Zuwenah and Kristie who I traveled with to Poland. Zuzi is from San Fransisco and Kristie from Brisbane, Australia.

This was in the market square (main area of Krawkow). We went inside, so beautiful!

Checking out the water inside the Salt Mine

This is at Wawel Castle

Again, this is the park we walked through all of the time, but at night - the lights in the city were very pretty.

This is the restaurant we ate at the first night with traditional polish food. It was delicious! The exchange rate at the time was 1 Euro to 3.9 zloty's, this meal was three courses for 14 zloty's! Jo took us here, and we would've never found it without being with an actual Polish person. We were very lucky.

Some of the buildings in town as we walked around checking things out.


At the top of Wawel castle, these are the views!

The burger in the Jewish Quarter.


In the Jewish Quarter on our last afternoon in Krakow we went to a place Jo recommended. She mentioned the have the BEST burgers anywhere, here is a picture inside at the wall. This place was so cute and so cool! Burgers were scrumptious! We also had potato wedges with the burgers. This is when we alerted each other how much we'd be hitting the gym when we got home ;)

This is Jo's car! For her job she gives tours of the Communist areas outside of Krakow, and her company gave her this car! How cute is it?!

The park we walked through every day


Salt Mine


The first night we arrived, Jo knew we'd be tired of traveling, so we went to a few laid back clubs, this was one of them! I thought it was totally cute and creative. These were located all over the bar.
