Elvisa Presleya -- 75th Birthday

The Sisters of Norbet Convent in Krakow's Zwierzyniec district held a Sunday mass for Elvis Aaron Presley. That's right, Poles love him too. I hope the link below will get you to The Polish Daily, and the article on Jan (John) Blajda, Krakow's well known Elvis fan.

We would pass St. Norbet's Convent, when we would go on our runs to the Blonia, or up to the Salwator cemetery, and the Kosciuszko Mound.

We still look for news from Krakow. It is a wonderful city. Even Elvis knows...

Who is he? The King?

in memory of Elvisa Presleya

I can't tell you how excited I was when we ran across

this monument to Elvis! We were out riding our bikes

and took a detour to avoid a busy road and there he was!

The name of the street is Aleja Elvisa Presleya,

Elvis Presley Avenue. There is a little tavern

across from the monument, and family gardens

are tucked away along the street.

So, since tomorrow is the anniversary of his death,

this is our tribute to Elvis, from Poland.

I have an entry on our travel blog about Graceland

and tribute week 2007. Have a look
