Good Morning from Krakow

I just got a connection working in my hotel room. Just wanted to drop a line and tell you I'm okay and I made it. The flights were long and tiring but otherwise uneventful. Paul, the general manager here at LL Polska, is treating us very well and really laying out the red carpet for us. It is very cold and there is old snow and ice everywhere, but it isn't actually snowing, just bone chillingly cold. The city is really very neat, with lots of old buildings and crowded cobbled streets, but it is also very hip with tons of young people out and about and trendy places crammed into these old structures. The more modern parts of town are very dreary and eastern bloc looking with lots of dirty gray concrete high-rises and sour faced people bundled in their warm clothes. The food so far has been fantastic, Paul has picked for us his favorite restaurants. Food is cheap, plentiful, filling, and delicious. I was starving after my trip and only airport and airplane food to keep me going and having been traveling for over 20 hours. Anyways, there is plenty to do here and I am enjoying it so far. It is 9 hours ahead of you guys here so its now 8:00am Saturday morning. We have a full weekend planned already. I will give you an update the next time I am at the hotel.
