Fetch me the blacksmith!

We are presently in Krakow, Poland. I can't say much about Poland yet because we had kind of a chill day and just stayed in the dorm to recharge. It probably would have been a terrible report anyway as it is cold and rainy. We are going to take a free walking tour tomorrow so we are hoping for better conditions.

Otherwise-- we had our first authentic Polish meal today. As far as we can tell-- we ate at a place called "The Hut." We learned that polish food is not healthy in any respect. Anything that could be considered healthy is boiled or fried to eliminate any nutritional qualities. It is still pretty good-- if you skip the sour milk (and whatever "Thug's Sausage" is). We got some delicious breaded chicken with rosemary potatoes. We are going back tomorrow for "Hunter's Cakes." We have no idea what it is-- but it sounds delicious.

Poland is a pretty religious place (as the liquor menu was just titled "Other Devils"). I think as far as they are concerned-- Pope John Paul II was the last legitimate pope.
