Church

Here's one of the beautiful churches connected to Stary Rynek. Joan has her meeting with the ladies club tomorrow so I spend most of my time there waiting for her.

  1. This Chruch is very special to me. When I visited an oboist was rehearsing on the balcony, and the whole high space resonated with the sound. (I have two oboist children.) Then a young lady on violin joined him and I felt the first hint of missing home on my holiday.
