It's the week before Easter and, as as all good Catholic countries should, Poland has an extended school holiday for this Holy time. So, I'm heading to Krakow (again! yes, I LOVE Krakow!!) to meet some friends from Charlotte.

I'll be traveling to the Emerald City (or Golden Krakow as it’s called in the Michener book) Thursday and returning to Hooterville Monday evening.

Karol Józef Wojtyła / Pope John Paul II was the Archbishop of Krakow so I think lots of businesses and restaurants will be closed in observance of Easter, but Krakow still has a large Jewish population so I'm thinking we won't starve.

The weather is expected to warm up nicely and we're staying in an area I've never explored. I'm excited! More to come....
