I am posting some pics of the typical houses that we saw in Zakopane even though we are not there anymore...I thought that the Valeriano clan would appreciate them as we all love houses. We took a 2.5 hour bus ride from Zakopane to Krakow. The bus was big & comfortable and the driver chose NOT to pass other cars at high rates of speed..thank God. We got into our new digs...yet another 4th floor apartment...at every stop we have had to climb and climb to get to our place; dont these people know that there are elevators now in the 21st century. It is in an old building with big rooms and high ceilings. It is a bit decrepit...the towel holder fell right off at the weight of a dry hand towel and the bathroom is situated right next to the kitchen..well actually IN the kitchen. But the apartment is located in a great spot though so for what we are lacking in modern amenities, we make up for with location, location location. It is right next to the famous Florianska Gate and only a 5 minute walk to the Stare Miaste (Old Town). We met briefly with Jan and his son Christopher....they both said that I have not aged a bit...no snickering out there; so they both have declining vision..let me bask in the moment. We are having dinner with the Kaganek clan tomorrow...Stasha is similar to Slovak mother as she cooks and cooks and fusses over what you have not eaten. She makes awesome pierogis and golabki (stuffed cabbage) so I have told the kids that they are not allowed to eat anything before we go so that we are good and hungry. Hopefully we will NOT be presented with the now infamous (to IAG) mushrooms in spit.
