Krakow, Poland

Our next stop was Krakow, Poland.  A wonderful old city.  As a tourist it seems like a magical place and I wanted to spend more time there.  No need to mention how good the pierogies were.

Berlin

In September, we started our vacation by visiting Berlin, Germany.  Everywhere we turned we were questioning whether we were in the old East or West Berlin.  Berlin was the surprising union of history and modern buildings (Sony Centre).  Our first night we spent dining with the other 11 members of our tour.  Then instead of catching up on our lack of sleep, we walked around shooting historical buildings at night with June who is a great photographer and was trying her hand at mastering her iPhone's camera.
