Europe 06

Greetings from Zakopane which is Poland's Flagstaff. It is on the border of Croatia.

Many of the buildings here are built almost entirely of wood. Heavy timber on down to shingles. Pretty impressive workmanship. I visited a wooden church here built in the mid-1850s.

It was only a two-hour bus ride from Krakow, which is where I'm heading back to now.

Last night was supposed to be the night on the town where I drank a few beers and stayed out all night to watch people. I made it until about 8 p.m. before I had to go to sleep.

I was woken up by the kamikaze fly which was one of those big flys that buzz when their wings flap. He woke me up about three times and I made a lame attempt to kill him once. About 3 a.m. I had had it and he must have known. Just before I turned the light on to find him and kill him once and for all he goes kamikaze right into my head. I turned the light on to find him twitching in the throws of death on my pillow.

I have to go buy my ticket to Krakow to be back by 5 p.m. I would like to try to get a pic of the Wawel Cathedral in the evening sun.
