Polish Sausage

Today, I tried some actually Polish Sausage. My pops has been bugging me to try it. He said,”If you are in Poland, you need to try the Polish Sausage.” I did and it did not taste any different than the Sausage in the states. Though it is not really different you should, if ever in [...]

Kopiec Kosciuski Wax Museum

If you ever go to Kopiec Kosciuszki (Burial Mound), never opt in to take the Wax museum tour for 8 Zloty as it is not worth it. There are only about 12 wax statues and the tour is over. Save you money and go to the Cafe FM Panorama and get some coffee or ice [...]

Kopiec Kosciuszki

Today I took a taxi to Kopiec Kosciuszki which is a famous burial mound here in Krakow. I climbed to the top of the mound to get a great 360 degree view of Krakow. The weather was great and the skys were clear, which made it even better. Bad part is that I was not [...]

Mr. Gelato Closed

It is my bad fortune that I must notify those that have been traveling to Krakow, Poland with me that Mr. Gelato has closed. They in my opinion make the best Ice Cream I have had while here in Krakow. I must now set out to find a good replacement, which I think I might [...]

Poland Bound

On my way out to Krakow, Poland today. I will keep everyone posted on how the flights go.
Have a great weekend.

No Carry-On Luggage at all.

I just received an email from a co-worker stating that LOT Airlines is not allowing any carry on luggage at all. So to be on the safe side, I decided to check Alitalia Airlines to see what restrictions they have so that I can pack accordingly. I called Alitalia Airlines and they do not permit [...]

Black Boxes

I found this article pretty interesting it seems the car industry has and is planning on adding “Black Boxes” to all the cars. These little “Black Boxes” similar to those found on planes will be able to track vehicle speed, acceleration, and deceleration, braking, steering and some air bag functions. In some cases data on [...]

Am I crazy?

Ok, so I have not been on the bike for many, many weeks and I have only been running for about 2 weeks and can only run 3 miles in one sitting. So why is it that I received and email for the Los Locos Duathlon and think I could do it. There are five [...]

Food for Thought: Krakow, Poland

Below is a listing of all the restaurants I have eaten at while in Krakow, Poland. I stole this list from Brian (a co-worker) who has set a goal of 100 restaurants while in Krakow and he is actually pretty close to his goal. Of course, he has been there longer than I have and [...]

Ryan Carmichael

On my way out of Sports Authority I saw some remote control car racing going on outside. I decided to see if my buddy Ryan Carmichael was out there racing his new RC car. And to my surprise he was out there. I was lucky to actually get to see him drive his car in [...]

Corn on the Cob Popcorn

I have been meaning to post this for a while now.
While in Krakow, Poland on my last trip I saw a funny little packet. It was a corn Cob vacuum sealed in plastic. After looking at it further, you pop the Cob in the microwave.
To read more about it or to buy some, go to [...]

Lowe’s Store #1526

Normally I have nothing but good things to say about Lowe’s, as I frequent there regularly to purchase tools to fill the tool box. Today is not one of those days.
Today I took a well deserved vacation day and went to Lowe’s with my mom to purchase a new kitchen light, similar to the one [...]

3 Miles and Counting

If you read one of my previous post, you will know that I have set a goal to be able to run 5 miles. Well, last night a successfully completed 3 miles. Not sure how my speed compares to the average runner, but I am running approximately a 10-12 minute mile on the treadmill.
Running on [...]

Where to go, where to go?

I will be returning to Krakow, Poland in 2 weeks and have one weekend to do what I want. I do not want to spend too much money on travel, so it will have to be somewhere rather close. I also do not want to spend most of my day traveling.
Does anyone have any suggestions [...]

Who loves you and who do you love?

It’s time to start running. I hit the treadmill again yesterday and did a cool 2 miles. My goal is to work my way up to 5 miles. I am hoping to be able to hit this goal by the first week in September. Once I get to that point, I need to try and [...]

Scorcher

I will start off by telling you that the temperature upstairs in the house was 79 degrees. The temperature was set at 74 and that alone tells you that it was hot outside. Not only was the crib hot, but it was over 101 outside.
Worst part about it was that I was at a work [...]

Great read with "Marley and Me"

A few months ago, my brother-in-law recommended “Marley and Me” by John Grogan. At first I was like whatever, but figured I would at least give it a try. Well on my last trip to Krakow, Poland I had the chance to give it a try. On my way out at the Memphis Airport I [...]

I have returned.

I am back in Memphis, TN, but not for long as I return to Krakow, Poland August 24th. I am already working on planning things to do for when I head to Krakow, Poland to keep from going nuts in the hotel.
When I first arrive, I plan on finding some tours that I have not [...]

Elvis is not dead, he is in Krakow, Poland

As today seems to be a blog posting day, here is another one for the masses. Today while walking around the square and watching the Tour de Krakow I saw this puppet master and his Elvis puppet. The guy was actually very good and seem to be advertising a theatre here in Krakow. Below are [...]

Running In Krakow

I know I mentioned that I was going to start running a few months ago, and I have not had a chance. Well, this trip to Krakow, Poland, I started my running. I ran about 1-2 miles on Monday, 2.5 miles on the treadmill and 1 on the oliptical trainer on Tuesday, and [...]

Me riding.

If you remember a few post back, I was really wanting a Classic Pennyfarthing Replica Bicycle. Well today, while being a spectator at the Tour de Krakow (not sure what the name of the race actually was) I saw a group of guys dressed in old time apparel with the bicycles. I asked if I [...]

Tour de Krakow

After work today I took my usual route back to the hotel. Todays journey was somewhat different than previous days. Today there was a bicycle race going on smack dab in the middle of the Krakow main Square. I was lucky to have caught the start of what seemed to be the Cat 1-2 race.
The [...]

Parents are even cruel in Krakow

Unfortunately, parents are crule all over the world. While in Krakow, Poland I noticed this kid through my camera lens and decided to take the photo. He has a nice flowing rat tail. Rat tails are no longer in style.
