I'm in Krakow! I saw St. Mary's, and Wawel Castle (from the outside, it was apparently closed today), and walked around Kazimierz, and am going to the salt mines. I'm aware of Auschwitz's proximity. The Gallery of 19th Century Polish Art is being renovated, so I didn't manage to get in (is there a temporary location? I can research this myself.). What else should I do?!
I'm also really excited about the giant mall by the central train station. Maraia and I felt strangely at home there, even though I hate malls in America. And it was open after 5 on a Sunday! Open on a Sunday period was CRAZY after being in Germany for so long. We were surprised by how much open stores on Sunday surprised us.
But oh man. I have needed new shoes for so long. And my jeans are ripping in a very bad place! That's what I get, only bringing one pair on a 7-week trip.
I have to sleep. Good night. Salt mine tomorrow!
Edit: Krakow photos here.

Don't know the hot spots in Krakow. However, if you by chance swing back to Trieste you must, I have heard from more than one authority, go to Buffet da Pepi (One block from the water, etc. It is very famous, so would not be hard to find. The food is Austrian and astonishingly inexpensive. ts
