Weekend in Krakow

I spent last weekend in Krakow.  It was amazing!  The city moves at a different pace than Prague, a pace that seems to fit well with my own.  Spent most of the weekend in the Jewish Quarter - there's a lot going on around there.  Outdoor markets and beautiful details.  


Stumbled upon this gem of a tea house.

This Church was gorgeous!  The Church of St. Francis just a few blocks from the Old Town Square.  I could have spent hours inside admiring these walls.




Just a few days before we got to Krakow it was the anniversary of Pope John Paul II becoming Pope (he was from Krakow) so there were memorials for him all over the place.  We would be walking down the street and turn the corner to find a brick wall covered in these candles - they were EVERYWHERE.  This was one of the reasons that Krakow felt so real to me - evidence of people living their lives all over the city.
