It has been a full week in Poland. Not much time to catch up on blog stuff. We really had a mix of weather here. From quite cold any raining to snow to sunny and clear. Fortunately the days we were walking turned out to be real nice. As well as our Gace day trip we also made our way to Czestochowa, our "pilgrimage" started with Peter throwing up in the car about 1 hour into the trip. The salt mines of Wieliczka also took us another day to get to and view. This site is listed as #1 in the 7 wonders of Poland. Maybe the most impressive thing in the salt mine was the large chapel " probably a little bigger than St.Alphonsus church in Winnipeg" that is located some 150 meters below the surface. All of the statues and alter are carved out of salt. Mass is still celebrated each Sunday at 8 am there. We also made a couple of trips into Krakow. Edek guided us 1 of the days through old Krakow. Amazing how much more you can see and learn when you have a guide. Tonight we traveled to Bierawa to visit Edek & Mariola and their family at their home. This was a great week! We will leave Poland in the morning and head toward Austria via the Slovak Republic.
Pozdrawiam
