 we're baaaaaack! after 3 years... |
 ...with more info about M's g-g-aunts who schooled here |
 the weather is nicer this time, too |
 here's the Jagiellonian University department of Philology, where Bronia studied |
 oh, and another famous student |
 stepping out of old town, past the remains of the city defensive walls |
 this is an apartment building where Bronia lived as a student |
 still a cozy corner for bookish work! |
 |
 now we're on Retoryka street, home to a lovely set of buildings by Teodor Talowski |
 |
 |
 |
 rounding the corner onto Pilsudskiego... |
 |
 an ornate sokol (community gymnasium) |
 |
 as we continue outward, the buildings become more Secessionist |
 |
 an old theatre, now market |
 here's the Jagiellonian's main library and archives... |
 ...where Marla gets some great help to find school records of her relatives |
 that data leads us to a quick stop at the Polish Academy of Arts & Sciences... |
 ...then back to Pilsudskiego street, called Wolska when Bronia lived here |
 is this the spot? maybe, but it looks like the building has changed |
 back in old town for the evening, as lights come up |
 walking back to the hotel after dinner, every street has a surprise |
 the next day, we start in old town again... |
 ...and find a few buildings on the national register of historic places |
 out in Kazimierz, here's a historic factory, right next door to... |
 ...the Galicia Museum, which we visit again, this time with an excellent commentary by Gina of the education staff |
 afterward, we visit with Leopold Kozlowski, 'the last klezmer' |
 then a looping walk back, via a remnant of the Kazimierz city wall |
 some more monuments to note |
 this building isn't on the historic register... |
 ...but sure looks like it should be! |
 as the day wanes, we head back to the hotel... |
 ...with a final look at Krakow's spires |
