I know the smart thing to do is MAIL souvenirs home
shadylady 9:45am
It is!
catnik 9:45am
I have a beautiful hand-carved marionette from Prague
catnik 9:46am
Mom tried to bring steins home from germany and customs basically destroyed them
catnik 9:46am
when I say basically, THEY didn't smash them directly
shadylady 9:46am
Bring an envelope with you, collect postcards, tickets, anything paper, and send it..
catnik 9:46am
but they did not survive the trip home, either
shadylady 9:47am
Yeah, that can be hard.
catnik 9:47am
Mom was pretty upset
shadylady 9:47am
I would think so!!!
shadylady 9:47am
I'd have been livid.
catnik 9:48am
they wouldn't let her re-pack them
catnik 9:48am
and, well - United.
catnik 9:49am
Krakow has a dragon's den!
shadylady 9:51am
Hey, D&Co. *grin*
shadylady 9:51am
A what, Cat?
catnik 9:52am
A dragon's den!
catnik 9:52am
The bones of said dragon are hung by the cathedral.
catnik 9:52am
He was defeated by a clever medieval cobbler. 🙂
shadylady 9:52am
Ooooo... I wish I'd known!
catnik 9:53am
the den has a statue that breathes fire.
shadylady 9:56am
Got a link?
catnik 9:58am

shadylady 9:59am
I like Atlas Obscura.
catnik 10:00am
Me too
catnik 10:00am
Underground medieval market! My inner Z just perked up
shadylady 10:01am
You should go.
catnik 10:02am

I always wanted to visit Poland
catnik 10:04am
it was consecrated by Cardinal Karol Wojtyła... which, while I am not a Catholic, JPII was cool.
catnik 10:04am
And the story for that particular church is interesting! Screw you, USSR!
catnik 10:10am
places Z needs to go:
catnik 10:10am
earldebuke 10:11am
Earl needs to work on that flicker flash
shadylady 10:12am
So true.
catnik 10:14am
Yup. Poland. On the list.
shadylady 10:15am
Do it.
shadylady 10:16am
catnik 10:17am
I saw the catacombs in prague
catnik 10:17am
LOVED them
catnik 10:17am
...I sort of love the morbid stuff.
catnik 10:18am
ok, if I take Mom to Poland, she's gonna want to go to auschwitz. Just need to accept that now.
shadylady 10:19am
I haven't been there, but I have been to Dachau. Worth it. I mean.... hard, but good.
catnik 10:19am
Yeah
catnik 10:19am
Sounds about right.
shadylady 10:20am
I think of myself as blessed; I have visited Dachau and Nagasaki. I get it.
catnik 10:20am
heading out soon. I am pretty sure Z's WWII past life was Polish resitance, though
earldebuke 10:21am
Blinks at PBEM
earldebuke 10:21am
Wow, big miscommunication there
