Krakow

We have not blogged for a few days due to days and nights packed with fun! We are on the day train to Vienna/St. Wolfgang to meet up with Kiki and Adi, Ken and Diane’s daughter and soon to be son in law. Our last 3 days have been very eventful. Our final day in Krakow was great. We all loved Krakow. It is a very beautiful and friendly city, with a main square that was the largest in medieval Europe. Our final day began with a city tour in little golf cart type vehicle that covered the old town, the Jewish quarter and the Jewish ghetto where the Jews were forced to live during WWII before being sent to the camps. We then took the Rick Steve’s walking tour of town. The highlight of the day was happening upon the Spirit of Assisi 2009. Religious leaders from all over the world gathered in Krakow to commemorate the 70 years since the war. They had visited Auschwitz earlier in day and had a memorial in the square complete with a feed from Assisi, an orchestra and concert in Krakow. It was very moving and emotional; we sat in the square, had a beer and felt part of history.
