Krakow

From Auschwitz/Birkenau, we drove an hour through the Polish countryside before arriving in Krakow. I had a view of Poland as gray and old, but it was quite the opposite. Beautiful countryside! We checked into our hotel in the heart of the city and then headed out for some sightseeing. 
A lollipop couldn't even keep him awake. 
Fun times at a small candy factory where we watched them make hard candies.   
Always love the outdoor cafes 
Part of the town square
His souvenir - he really wanted the wooden sword, but this was our compromise.   
The castle grounds were beautiful
We read in Rick Steves book that this corner in in the Wawel Castle courtyard is one of the Hindu 7 energy sites of the world, or something like that. My dad and Cade recharged their energy here. 


It was fun to have my sweet parents with us!
We only scratched the surface of Krakow on this quick trip, but we enjoyed our time there!

  2. Love the pic of Cade and your Dad "recharging".

    The Poland posts were so good, Carey. Thank you for sharing the Auschwitz pictures. I did not know that 1/10 were Hungarian. I will have to borrow your book when we go.
