Krakow

Had a great weekend in Krakow with family and friends, always great to see some friendly faces in a foreign land! This story is best told through pictures, so I will start it up.

Outside Wawel

A memorial to Katyn

The old town square Cloth Hall

The famous church, Kościół Mariacki

Another view of the church, well known for it's hourly trumpeting

Then there was the farm in the hills outside of Krakow that we visited for a day. Lots of food was grilled and eaten, sleeping in the car followed.




















That was a truly awesome day. I even got the chance to pick wild mushrooms in the forest, which we then grilled fried up.

Lastly, a couple shots from a nice restaurant we went to called Gruby Ryby, literally translated into "fat fish". Tasty to say the least.






I also learned the old Polish recipe for moonshine, 1410 based off of the Battle of Grunwald, 1kg of sugar, 4 liters of water, 10 deciliters of yeast. Yeah baby, time to start some home brewing! That recipe will give me about 2 liters of Spiritus (190 proof) which I can mix with honey and some other stuff to get some old fashioned Mioldowka!

Lax is also going really well, the team has progressed remarkably over the past 3 weeks. We have our first tourney in Kristiansund last weekend of October, so we're gonna have a sweet road trip with the team and our cheerleaders. Also in second week of October I'm going on a business trip to Germany visiting Hamburg, Frankfurt, Karlsruhe, Essen, and Dusseldorf. Lastly, I started up my Norwegian language tutoring, hopefully that starts paying dividends soon. God dag alle sammen!
