Images of Poland

Empty Krakow streets at 6am. Makes it easy to wander aimlessly across roads without getting smushed by roving trams. Bread ring sellers offering poppy seed covered goodies for less than the smallest coin in my pocket. Faces of old Pols like narled wood. Why do all Polish men have square heads? Cars which drive up onto the sidewalks to allow buses to pass by. Enormous cobble stones designed to mangle tourists' unwary feet. The Art Bunker in Krakow with a myriad of delicious contemporary art. (The video of the guys dressed up as Marilyn Monroe singing "happy birthday", bit weird.) Fields and fields of corn. Men pitching hay into a wooden horse drawn cart. Heavy ashy mournful Auschwitz. Children twirling in the "Parky" surrounding the old square in Krakow. Games of sharades with pharmacists. Orange cough candies that taste like licorice. Huge square concrete appartment blocks, Polish "living quarters". Piles of fresh baked pastries. Oh how I love the apple whatever it's called! Dark old square lit up with the pinky purple hue of sunset. Deep folksy woods, whispering ancient tales of times gone by.
