YES! I'm excited to see all of these new places.
It's going to be hard to get away from Krakow from here on out though, since it's so beautiful in springtime. Yesterday the weather was 60 F in the sunshine, maybe 50 in the shade. Rachel and I walked from Dom Piast to the old city (about a 40 minute walk) to enjoy the sunshine. I treated myself to a two-scoop cone of ice cream at the mall - chocolate and vanilla, I went basic but both flavors are SO rich at this ice cream cafe. Rachel and I hung out with some of our British friends for a little while at an outdoor cafe a few blocks from the main square and then took a short walk through the Easter market set up in the main square before heading home.
We've been watching the process of setting up the market for the past week or so. Every day there was something new - first the stalls, then wicker animals on top of some of them, then colored wicker eggs, then a HUGE barrel for mulled wine, then the larger grill stalls started appearing and a beautiful little garden in the middle of the square! Yesterday was the first day it opened and of course now I'm going away...but we've heard that the Christmas market was in place in the main square for a month so I'm assuming that the Easter market will definitely be around when I get back, only one day after Easter.
Decoration on one end of the market.
I love this wagon with daffodils coming out of the hay. Pretty and a little goofy with all those little daffodil-heads waving in the breeze.
Awesome wall graffiti that Rachel and I saw on our walk in.
