Krakow Old Town (Rynek)

These children in national costumes were just walking down the street with their teachers, I think.  I don't know what the occasion was.


The next day Zbigniew took us to Krakow and showed us the Old Town. 
 Here's a few pictures that we took.

This country is full of statues.

The church at the end of the street is St.Mary's Cathedral.

A couple of pictures of the inside of St. Mary's Cathedral.  It was incredible.



People used to gather at the park across the street from this building to see the pope John Paul II wave to them from the window where his picture is now.  This was his residence when he was the cardinal of Krakow.


Viswa river.

Inside this palace we saw more tapestry than I have ever seen.  Every room had at least two.  Many were from 16th century.  We didn't have a tour guide to explain all of them to us.

Statues of the Twelve Apostles.  I could not fit them all in one picture.



Another priesthood holder (not an apostle) with an accordian player.
