Time Flies...

Wow!  Where to begin.

Sorry that it took so long to write.  I've been insanely busy trying to keep my head away from the chopping block.  Stress related migraines, persistent nausea, and endless paranoia about the fact that my bosses have been observing me non-stop have not helped me do my job very well.  It all came to a head today in ways that good sense dictates I should not discuss on such a public forum...and I would advise those of you in the know not to mention anything in the comments about it.

Whatever comes next is decidedly for the better.  If you've been reading, you know this place hasn't lived up to what it was sold to us as...and we will leave it at that.  If you wish to know more, I can always be messaged privately. 

Our trip to Krakow last weekend was brilliant though!

We were so enthralled with Old Town that all we ever did was wander around.  We were still exhausted from another stressful week of work that we didn't really have the energy to go for any of the free walking tours, and the not-so-free ones of other nearby sites of interest were rather expensive.  That's okay though.  Krakow is definitely on our "do again" list.  We found an interactive digital museum in our wanderings, and also a store that sold period medieval souvenirs that we will also return to.  It took a great deal of effort not to drool on their weapons, crafts, and illumination.

There was also some sort of market festival going on in the little square that had musicians, craftspeople, food and one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted.

They served little molded pieces of it off a smokey grill with cranberry sauce and it was so divine I went back for more!  If there was ever a moment where I've proven myself to be an even split between my parents, I think that was it.

Really, the only thing that went wrong for us in Krakow was a restaurant we went to on the main square called Staropolska.  I really wish we could have taken pictures because I cannot exaggerate how ridiculous it was.  We had to wait for half an hour to get our order, and when it finally came it was something I wouldn't even serve at my own table.  I'll go into details when I post the pictures. 

For now, I'm going to sit back and enjoy some Doctor Who.
