Under The Square

 The city of Krakow excavated its market square in the past decade as an archaeology project.  Instead of simply reburying everything, they made an underground museum and covered it over to make the square look normal atop.  The museum is pretty neat.  For one thing, they allow only a certain number of people in it at a time.  This means you don't feel as crowded or hurried as most places.  It also has a lot of tech stuff in it to make it seem more alive.  The first four photos here are of some of those.  Then there are a lot of finds from the square displayed either in cases or in ways that show how they were used.  It's a great experience.

Shutter And Stucco

The last big hole in the peach stucco is filled.  I also finished off one more shutter and a bit more tree.  I will be so happy when I'm done with that blasted tree.

El Grecoing With The Lehtinens

Because of the long trip they had the previous day, we decided to take it easy on Saint and Florine's first full day in Moldova.  El Greco was only a couple of blocks from their apartment, so there we went for lunch! Pitas and pickled tomatoes and all kinds of grilled goodness were served.  Savannah, at just under a year old, decided she truly loved pickled tomatoes.  The only reason she didn't eat the whole plate is we didn't let her.

Textiles And Furniture

 This is a bit of several living areas.  There are many textiles and a few intriguing bits of furniture.

Bordering Up

I have all nine middle squares done now and have started the first border.  Yay!  I even have someone to give this to.

Getting Some Gauguz

In August we welcomed Andreas' new supervisor with a visit to Gok-Oguz.  It was a rainy day, but we managed to sit outside under some eaves.  As usual, the food was very fresh and very delicious, even if it did take some time.

More Clocks - And Textiles!

 Still in the Hippolit House with lots more clocks and some textiles, including handmade lace, battenburg lace, and cross stitch.
