Trip to Poland

Off season is coming! Just in from the Poland Front - a land of rolling hills with mountain views in the distance, green and friendly. Weather in July was slightly rainy-misty, rained a little but was gone within minutes. Kind of like washing the air, then leaving to go elsewhere. Fred said: Wonderful castles and markets, traveling through the "old town sections" was the best (and he's not a shopper). Visited towns of Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk, Auschwitz (they have tried to make it "look better" but is "heavy", I can imagine with all those lost spirits floating around...you "feel" that) but a place that should be visited and not forgotten. Plus Warsaw ahs great sights, food and nice people. The roads are terrible...major highways are in good shape. There are tourists in Poland, more Europeans but there are still Americans traveling here and there.
