Neil In Krakow!

Thursday March 19th!
I'm so lucky to have such adventurous, curious, fun friends! During Grinnell's spring break rather than traveling to Costa Rica, Hawaii, or St. Tropez Neil came to visit me in snowy Krakow. Ok, to each their own. Neil has taken Russian for 3 years so he has quickly picked up Polish pronunciation and vocab and is more than capable of wandering around Krakow on his own. Almost feel a little useless here..but am glad for the company and the familiar face. But mostly the gossip. Oh! The Gossip. Thursday Neil was pretty beat from his trips to Chicago and Dublin before arriving in Krakow. I had class so he took a nap while Matt and I went to the Archeological museum of Krakow. Very interesting. I knew nothing about the Slavic tribes until our lesson with Pani Beata. Apparently Celts helped form Slavic genetics and culture. Huh. After class I ran over to Massolit to buy some books for my research project and then Matt, Neil and I went to Jarema. A fancy, but still relatively inexpensive, Eastern Polish restaurant. Later, we went to Harris Jazz Club which has nightly "Euro Fusion?" concerts starting at 9pm. "Hey sexy, you sexy, can I get your number" repeat 10 times. Took some pretty hiliarious pictures. SLEEP!
