July 14
Leaving one of my "new" favorite cities - Krakow, our long drive over hill and dale led us first to the Jaina Gora Monastery, the most holy of the Catholic pilgrimage sites in Poland, where the Black Madonna icon is displayed. All popes have come to this sight and soon it will be World Youth Day.
Our last destination is Warsaw. Though it was flattened by the Nazis in WWll it has risen to be a beautiful modern city of high rise glass buildings! Our special treat upon arrival was a Chopin piano concert in a classic setting. Beautiful.
