On the Square in Cracow

We promenaded the large square, taking in the church, the cloth market, numerous shoppes, before settling in to a street-side cafe, for a bier (and a screwdriver), to watch the parade.

The market square tower, 15th century












The Cloth Market, 16th century, though remodeled
frequently (every couple centuries or so), mostly souvenirs








Foretelling the future outside the Cloth Market











Pivo means beer, and this person is giving it
away, at a certain bar; I stuck to my favored
Zywiec













Horse-drawn carriage tours are a big deal, very popular, in
Cracow







But with horses come certain, um, emissions; in this
amazing photo (click to enlarge), the co-pilot is examining
 the recent contents of the horsepoopski catcher, which
he/she extends whenever the horse's tail is raised; in two
days' walking all over old Cracow, we saw only one
instance of errant poopski








Of course, there was a wedding carriage






And, on warm weather days like this, the Policie wear
t-shirts
