Back in Krakow! Springtime

Wednesday, April 1st
Rolled into Krakow at 6:33am. Anna picked us up. Its Spring in Krakow! The market square has been completely converted for Easter time with wooden huts set up selling all sorts of chocolate, candy, kielbasa, etc. etc. There are even 3 little rides for kids, merry-go-rounds and choo choo trains.
Our sweet friends in Krakow invited us out for pierogis; i had tuna pierogis with lemon sauce yum! and later drinks. catching up was fun.

Lazy day. Went back to ethnographic museum in Kazimierz with Matt for a guided tour by Pani Beata. Returned to Kazimierz with Rachel, John, and Matt later in the evening to join Brad and Bethanne. We went out at 9:30 pm and I was already falling asleep by the time we got there :-( Unfortunately, Rach, Brad and Bethanne are leaving this weekend for Wrocław and Matt's going to Berlin so we'll have to wait to all meet up again.

Meeting with Pani Beata at Wawel. Its a beautiful, warm day in Krakow! Everyone is out, great hustle to the city. There are about 20 outdoor cafes open on Rynek Glowny to sit in the sunshine and read and whatever.
Although I already ran this morning joined John for a second one in the afternoon, ugh. There is a 2.2 mile race tomorrow morning which I am still deciding whether or not I want to compete in .... We decided we would try to soak up some culture and go to the classical concerts they host in the St. Peter and Pauls Church. We had to hurry to make it so we tried some of the kielbasa from the Spring time wooden vendor huts on Rynek Glowny. and some of there candy too. The concert was amazing! Accoustics were superb. Chopin, Mozart, Dworak, Vivaldi, Piazzola. Ireneusz Boczek began the concert with Chopin's "Raindrop" which I absolutely love. Ireneusz was a wonderful pianist, very straight posture with these lovely subtle flairs in playing the piano. Maybe I'll take my parents back there next week.
