Re: April 28, 2016: Main Square, Krakow, Poland
Hi Ava : ) You are going to love Krakow. The locals are very friendly, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Enjoy your visit. I hope you share your adventures (along with pictures) with TravelGumbo upon your return...I (and our entire TravelGumbo family) would love to see them. By the way, if you have time, take a day to visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine, and another day to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration/Extermination camps. Your best bet to see...

Thanks Ottoman! I'm really excited to hear all of the positive things about Krakow. We have already booked a tour at Auschwitz, but I don't know if we will have time to visit the salt mine (although it looks amazing). I'd be happy to share some photos.

The Salt Mines are one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It would be a shame to miss seeing them. When you are in town you will see this building. It's the Rail Station. The salt mines are just a few stops along the line. 10 minutes. So easy to find. So worth it.

Re: Three Days in San Diego
Great piece! San Diego is a great city with some of the best weather anywhere. I haven't stayed at Hotel del Coronado, but I've been there several times and it really takes you back to a different time. Everything seems at a slower pace.

Re: Three Days in San Diego
San Diego is a great getaway. When I lived in the LA area, we enjoyed visiting San Diego at least once a year as part of a weekend getaway. Brings back some good memories.

In the main square, school children perform dances and theatre for passers by. Adults perform parades and fashion shows. During the summer when I was a visitor there was something on display most afternoons. Krakow is a beautiful city to walk around.

Re: Czechoslovak Hussite Church of Our Lady, Old Town, Prague
It's a great church! I loved visiting it. If you like astronomy, be sure you visit the grave of Tycho Brahe within the church.

Re: In Egypt: On a Felucca
The mysterious 'mechanism' is the ability to raise and lower the keel to sail in shallower water. Hence the reason the boat heeled over further. A keel is necessary when using a high sail - a technology passed on from the Arab world to Vikings !

Ah ha! Mystery explained. Thanks, on behalf of all of us non-sailors!
