Krakow is one of my most beloved cities. the main square is perhaps the most charming in all of Europe, lined with cafes and eateries, the sounds of a street musician in the distance mingling with the clanking of a horse and carriage upon the cobblestones… Time seems to flow at a slower pace in this old capital of Poland, once the home of kings and queens, drawing great scholars and artists from the entire world. It is fascinating to experience this city which so eloquently connects tradition with modernity.
My dear friend Ola lives in this cultural mecca and we had a wonderful time catching up on all the beautiful stories of our lives…wandering the mysterious streets of the Old Town and Kazimierz…breathing in the life that is uniquely Polish.
Kaska,
It’s a really nice and idyllic description of our central European ‘province’.. great grasp of my home town atmosphere.
Time goes by and I miss Krakow, its clubs & on-street cafes more and more, as well as the countryside summer retreat in Gosprzydowa. Hopefully you found some equanimity and were able to load your batteries for your back-to-reality in NY.
