To Krakow!

My dear friend from college, Tricia, came for a visit in July with her sister, Jill, and we went to one of our favorite cities: Krakow. We enjoyed seeing many familiar sights and also made it to the Wieliczka Salt Mine for the first time. A beautiful weekend!
 
St. Mary's Basilica





 

"Smok Wawelski"
The Wawel Dragon
 




The girls!
 
Sneaking past those nasty pigeons in the square...
 
Standing in the Salt Mine - my two favorite guys

The stairwell descending into the mine




Table salt







 
St. Kinga's chapel, carved out of the rock salt within the mine


Even the chandelier in the chapel was carved out of rock salt














A man on a mission




The restaurant where we had lunch before leaving






Home again, home again
