Chronicles of Cracow 3

OK so I finally got some time to crank out some information. This time I'll actually talk about what I have been doing, and not just culture differences, which I find more interesting so I'll probably go back to that. So here is just a random collection of stories that I've done
So a few days back, me, Maggy, and her friend Peter went on a bike ride which i was told was going to go play some tennis, an hour later they had decided that we were going to go biking to a lookout point, where you could see the city, it was a long, long, ride. All up hill and through the city, which is very tough because there sidewalks are small, with cars parked on them, there streets are narrow and you will never get a smooth road, it is all just stones layed down that are not flat or consistent, think of that area in the Milwaukee Museum thats all old fashioned, but less even. That was quite the exhausting trip but afterword felt rewarding.
Another time we went by bike to their zoo! This created mixed emotions, if you think our zoos were bad when it comes to locking animals up in small areas this was quite sad. However it was only in select areas, the zoo itself was not bad they had a decent amount of animals, including 2 elephants. Obviously it didnt compare to the own in Milwaukee but it wasnt bad and I had a good time. It was especially funny seeing people look and take pictures of exotic creatures like raccoons! Deer! and especially, geese!
Another trip to the city center lead to me climbing 239 steps to the top of a tower for a view of the city. And you might say "Patrick 239 steps? that isnt that bad! you can practically double that on a nice day at Devils Lake! Or when people are forgetful, and you are feeling especially nice out at the cottage" but the reason this was tough was because it was after 4 HOURs of walking, and the steps were so steep sometimes it was better if they had just hung a rope ladder down. Luckily while up there I got a bunch of shots of the city.


I also went to a small village outside of Cracow where all the Presidents of Poland spend their summers, it was a nice little place.

Yea for more check out my facebook. I will be back with more on music in Poland and my trip to a CD and Movie store.
