Being away from home during the Christmas Holiday, might have been depressing, but so far we have been immersed in a winter wonderland like we have never experienced. The snowfall and lights have been beautiful, and we are hoping that the snow will stay long enough for Katie to see Krakow in this atmosphere.
Tonite we walked up to the square for supper, and these photos are of old town and the Christmas Market. I thought my fingers would freeze off before I could get these shots! The vendors are outside with these little booths all day and until 21:00 (that's 9pm) So if any of you want Polish pottery or those beautiful Polish glass handpainted Christmas ornaments, or maybe the folksy straw ornaments, you have until 25 December. There is a lot of shopping going on, but it doesn't seem as frenzied as it does back home...St. Nicholas has already visited the children in Poland. He leaves a present under their pillows on 5 December. Some of the favorite treats sold at the Market are gingerbread and poppyseed cookies, and many kinds of chocolate Santas, and candies. We'll have a more detailed description when Katie arrives and we sample all of them!!
