Prague


Friends from Texas came to visit.

In between playing games of Mexican Train (dominoes) we toured Krakow, the Jewish section of Kazimierz, some museums, and many churches. While they were here they went to Wieliczka and Auschwitz.

We all took an overnight train to Prague for the weekend. There was so much to see, we may have to take another trip there sometime. This was Wes' favorite place we have visited so far.

Clarks in Poland



Zac, Andrea, Damion and Will flew out for a 2 week visit the end of April.
We took them to see dragons...

and castles, the Krakow zoo,
Auschwitz.

Ojców National Park


Went to all the playgrounds Evie could find in Krakow, the botanical gardens, walked to the square and fed the pigeons and went on a tour to a farm/horse ranch.


I think everyone's favorite was the farm, it was much more than a tour. We saw horses, a pig, a cow named Matilda, chickens, a rooster that climbed a tree, ducks, cats, dogs, visited with the owners of the farm (there were some English-speaking people there to help out), and went on a hike and took horse and buggy rides.

Hiking at the farm


Had a great home made lunch with the best szarlotka (Polish apple dessert) ever.
