Joined Up

This is all joined up now and ready to get the border done.  Getting so much closer!  There's an inner border and some background to do and then it's done.

Arlekin Pizza

Hmmm.... a pretty good tasting very full meal for two under $15?  Yes, please.  That's what we got at Arlekin Pizza in Soroca.  It's evidently a fairly new place, and it has a kids' arcade area.  It's also packed, even midafternoon.  The food was very good, even if the salads were presented a little oddly.  The pizzas were full of (real) toppings and the crust wasn't too thin.  We couldn't finish them, but we also couldn't take them back to the hotel.  This restaurant was about a block from our hotel and we ended up eating there several times because of the lack of unbooked-by-weddings restaurants in the city.




On The Streets

Got lost on the streets of Krakow and took lots of pictures.  Eventually found the castle.

All Monogrammed

When I picked this up at the beginning of the week I was close enough to finish it with a bit more work, so I did.  I think it looks pretty good and I will incorporate it into a quilt block.  When I have time.

Back To Briz

Over Memorial Day weekend we visited Soroca to help teach a program and teach games to some students.  Zombie Dice was a hit among the preteen set, by the way, and the high schoolers loved Pandemic.  

Anyway, we had dinner at Cafe Briz, a place we had visited last year with Andreas' parents.  The menu has changed - they now offer sushi - but not the atmosphere.  

The food - this time we wandered off the beaten Moldovan path and experimented.  The Moldovan items - soup, salad and pickles- we ordered were fine.  The "fajitas" were awful.  This was another case of "it looks the same, so it must be the same" on top of some meat going off.  Not pleasant!




Churching

These are various photos of the exteriors of churches in Old Town Krakow. There are a lot of them!

Wizard Robes

Mr. Goat is getting some robes.  He's still at a really odd angle in the sky, but at least he'll have some clothing on.
