Paris July 3-5 After a bit of a whirl wind day in Rome we headed off to Paris. Paris HUGE and really hard to get around via a map. The city has a million little streets that last for a block or so all have different names and seem to randomly dump into other streets. I guess that is why everyone tells you about the joy of getting lost in Paris... It's going to happen so you might as well find a way to enjoy it... We did the hop on hop off and saw the main sites...

It will be a hot one in the old town tonight... So we kinda knew what we were getting into going to Rome for just 24 hours.

Along the river there are these beach chairs set up with restaurants... A very big patio scene h...

June 27-30 We arrived in Krakow late on Friday night and got settled into our apartment which is right on the Old Town main square. First I highly recommend a visit to Krakow (all the cheap airlines fly here) and make sure you stay in the main square. Tons of hostels and apartments to rent. The square is rated one of the most beautiful in the world and we caught a glimpse as we checked in so we decided to pop out for a night cap. Well we ended up at a karaoke b...
