Hello to whoever still checks this thing out  ;)

Here's a little glimpse into my trip to Krakow, albeit brief... sorry.  I also have to wait to get some pictures up...

So, about Krakow...   It is an absolutely gorgeous city.  It was one of the few that wasn't destroyed during the war, so there are still Medieval buildings within a true walled city center.  You walk through the gates and see a juxtaposition of the old beautiful architecture mixed with modern companies and shops... ex: McDonald's was the first thing I saw when I walked through :(, but actually NEVER saw a Starbucks :).  Anyway, the city itself was amazing, the people were extremely helpful and kind and the food was delicious (yes, the vodka and beer were too).  It was a wonderful vacation away from Istanbul for about 5 days with Greg. We took many pictures, which you can see on facebook or I can show you when I get home (for those of you who I'll see). 

I am in my second to last week here... ahhh! (That is both disbelief and excitement)  Anyway, I just wanted to get a Krakow post in before things get really crazy, don't have much time because, well... only -2 weeks.

Hope everyone is well.

Happy Holidays :)
