Hometel

​Our Airbnb apartment is in a historic building, although I haven’t yet figured out what it was.  Still, it is beautiful inside and so, so comfortable and quiet.  On the outside…

And the inside, although photos do not do it justice☺️…

We had a peaceful and lengthy rest through the night, and started our day around 10:00. A local bakery was recommended, but we had difficulty finding it, so we stopped at the first one we came to.  It was delightful! 

Our hometel is within a mile of ‘Old Town’ and is where we spent the remainder of our day. The Christmas market is amazing! The vendor sites grow as afternoon/evening sets in. We decided on a sit-down bite to eat, as we were getting chilled. Today was our experimental dressing day to see how light or heavy we need to dress for our outside, afternoon walking tours. We both decided another layer would be in order for tomorrow, which is the Jewish Quarter and Ghetto tour.  

For lunch, Dean enjoyed mulled wine, and pirogies. I, in the other hand, had sauerkraut and meat stew, and an apple hot toddy. If I see sauerkraut on a menu, I will order it😂😂!  Must be the German in me.  Needless to say, it was all so very delicious!

The people in Poland have been engaging, kind, and always willing to answer a question or point us in the right direction. It is fun to see them out enjoying the Christmas markets along with us tourists!
