Rainy Day II in Wroclaw

Despite the rain, the children of Wroclaw carried on having fun in Rynek Square where "Children's Day" activities and celebrations were being held. Members of our traveling troupe carried on also!

The "Hansel and Gretel houses" which at one time were the guard houses in front of St Mary's Church on Rynek Square. The groups of school children lined up here, ready for their Children's Day!

The elephant's "handlers!"  Their puppetry was true art.

 Jean Johnson, her mom, Gaye Fletcher, and Norma Lucas in search of interesting lunch spot.

City hall clock says it's noon.  Time for Jane Viste to grab a coiled sweet roll!

Polish bakers take pride in their work. In this mobile food cart are marble countertops for rolling out the dough which is then coiled and cooked as it is ordered. The result is a coiled sweet roll that is then rolled in the topping of choice (nuts, coconut, etc).  This place would rate "excellent" for cleanliness from our food inspectors! We rated the product excellent also.

Hoo boy, that's sour!  Norma Lucas trying the local pickles as she waits for her pieroge lunch on Rynek Square.  

Members of the Adornamento Quartet guided choir members to the best Pierogi spot in town.

Off to the concert

Water music?
We were delivered to Tumski Island (Cathedral Island) in Wroclaw by water taxi! Even through the rain, the view as we approached the Island of cathedrals was breathtaking.

Can't forget the piano and speakers! John Blankenship helps Maury haul the heavy "freight" though the rain, down steps to the water taxi.

The Streetcar trollys in Wroclaw manage to get people to destinations throughout the city, including across the Tumski Bridge over to the Cathedral Island.

 What a guy!  Larry Fenske shares his umbrella with Dotti Orazem, one-time member of the Larimer Chorale and now a member of the Silvertones.
