I'm learning a thing or two about blogs. After getting advice from the best and brightest at KPBS, the fact is I can't keep up. Life happens faster than I can write about it. Especially when you are living it in Krakow. The Old Town Market Square is about 10 minutes from our adorable studio flat, which is at the end of a quiet residental street, facing a garden. Lovely. The center itself is lively, but not too full. Last night for the finals of the Euro 2008 soccer games, there were people on the squares, filling the pubs, restaurants and cafes all tuned to the match, until past midnight, when Byron and I walked home on ancient cobblestone streets.

Home. Well, it is, until the end of July. The Kafka Project proceeds apace, which is slow right now. Have a meeting set for Wednesday with a couple of students who want to be involved. In the meanwhile, we sightsee and participate in the 18th Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz.  We have begun a week-long free class in Yiddish. Today we learned to write our names. 

I leave you now with a slice of life Byron snapped at Wawel Castle. Stay tuned: Coming up soon, more perpectives and thoughts from Magical Mystery Tour travelers, including my sister Trudi's report on her last night in Berlin.
