Wierzchowie

We are now at a house that we are renting in in Malopolska, "little Poland or lesser Poland". The house is owned by a forensic psychiatrist that only spends 3 days every 3 months here, the farmer next property over looks after it for her. The village of Wierzchowie already seems unique. It is only perhaps 30 minutes from Krakow but it is quite a different place here than in the city. We measured out the winding road that leads up to the house where we are staying and it is 8 feet wide with quite a few blind curves. Hopefully we will get some good photos of the limestone cliffs that are right here.There is also a cave that is about 1km long at the end of the road here that we will hike up to later in the week. It is has been very cloudy and cold and has been poor for pictures. We had visitors yesterday. The Zwolinski family, Edek Zwolinski is Rob's 1st cousin. Actually quite a historic contact. It was fun communicating between our family and Edek's. We planned a day trip for later in the week together. Pope John Paul II is everywhere, when we were walking through a store there was a restaurant and right beside the menu they had a 8x10 glossy photo of the Pope, in one of these pictures there is a yard with a bronze statue in the front of the house. At the market today we saw and bought something that looked familiar. To all of us anyway, or anyone who has hung around 593 Henderson. Rob asked what it was called to someone in the line up because he thought it was just something his mother used to bake with spare plumbs. An older woman called it Sliwa and then a young girl called it Sliwki. Maybe we can figure out the spelling of this one. Anyway that was desert tonight. Not as good as Babci's though said everyone.
