Seeing the sights in Kraków

At breakfast in the hotel


Our first sight as tourists in the old city of Kraków 


The market


More of the market square


... with 10,000 of our closest friends


The Basilica of St. Mary where we walked in on a special mass celebrating the feast of the Assumption (uncharacteristically, the celebrant sang better than the cantor!)


A great Polish dinner


... at Czerwone Korale, a Polish restaurant. Delicious!





Arrived in Kraków on Monday

... after a long, slooooooow drive through some pretty country, as here in Slovakia:

Back to Budapest

Ellen with our dear friend Szidonia Majoros, who has been a translator at Crescendo. Ice cream!


The report on the ice cream was highly favorable.

Then dinner at the Callas restaurant, next to the Opera, with Szidi, Adam Szokolay, another friend from Crescendo who has been studying piano at Bard College, and Irene Postma, also a friend from Crescendo.


Wedding photos!

We arrive in Cluj...

... for Anna Tucker's wedding on Sunday. Here she is with Ellen and Anna's friend Jane.
