In Krakow, our last day before hearing west towards Warsaw. I have loved this city of 850,000 and the people. They are truly wonderful, hospitable people.
Today, we completed our touring of Wawel Royal Castle where Kings have lived. Going back up to 10 centuries it is truly awesome to see the grandeur of their heritage. In Poland, like most countries you are not allowed to take pictures inside, so most of my 700+ pictures so far are of course from outside. You either have to go online or purchase books, postcards or DVD's to show the interiors. Rich and wealthy lived in these castles who either were warriors, leaders and/or statesmen who have brought Poland to where it is today.
Now to poorer, me (lol). Not really . . . it was free time to do some shopping. I received a printed list of what to buy, namely Amber Jewelry. There are endless opportunities to buy Amber; the hardest part was to narrow it down to what exactly. So what does a guy do? Keep on buying cause you're never quite sure you have it right. I'm hoping my wife will be happy and for others I bought for. She is the most important of course!
The experience here in Poland so far has been tremendous, again a God-send of what I needed. Seeing and visiting with the people is truly memorable. Understanding their background and culture has been fantastic. Sometimes in our 'own little world' we get locked in and don't realize there is a whole other world out there.
I'm very thankful to God for allowing me this opportunity and blessing. I pray that I have been a blessing to some of the Polish people as well.
