Krakow to the US

This morning we are traveling back to the US- the last four days in Krakow have been my favorite of the trip. The weather has been wonderful and cool, the people are friendly, the food good, the music (folk, jazz, and klezmer) awesome, the history engrossing, and the city beautiful.  It was a perfect way to finish.

Some Krakow highlights:
Visiting Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau
Real kielbasa
Folk music in the square
Jazz underground at Harris Piano Jazz Bar
Franz Liszt's grave in Wawel cathedral
Live klezmer at Klezmer Hois
Shopping with Mom
Blue ceiling of St. Mary's cathedral
Trumpeter of Krakow
Bach in St. Barbara's
Big pretzels
Finding the remaining part of the ghetto wall
Sauerkraut!
Quiet hostel
Cool weather (in the 50s)

Looking forward to returning next year!
