We went to the mall in Krakow yesterday. We looked around before Ania and I left to walk around the town. We were going to go to the Krakow Museum, which is located in the main market square, but when we got there, we found that the Museum was closed due to construction. With that info under our belts, we decided to just walk around the market. We walked and browsed through every stall and made purchases for gifts for our family. I bought something for mom and Aunt Bridget, while Ania bought something for her mom and sister.

After looking at all the market stalls, we decided to go to the Florian gate. We looked all over for it before asking the people at information. Turns out, we walk by the gate every day when we go to the market for groceries. Very anti-climatic for all of us involved. But, Ania and I took pictures at the barbican, this little castle-looking building, and then the gate.

Afterwards, we went to the market and bought beef jerkey-like sticks of Polish meat and sat in the park for a little bit. When we got back to the apartment it was to find Nikki not there yet, and as she had the key, we decided to go do some shopping for supper in hopes she would be back by the time we were done. Ania and I picked up some eggs, butter, bread, and other things needed for a couple more days in our apartment. When we got back, we met up with Nikki and started dinner.

While the water was bubbling and the vegetables sautéing, we realized we forgot to pick up toilet paper. Nikki went out to get some and some more juice for dinner. By the time she got back, dinner was just about ready to eat. We ate really early and had the dishes done by like 6:30ish or so. The three of us then sat down, or rather lay down, and watched “Sex in the City.” After the movie, which got over by 9:30, I showered and we all went to bed.
