Outside Le Memorial

Outside Le Memorial there is a large park and green space.  Part of it is called a peace park and honors Nobel peace prize winners.  Part of it is a memorial to the dead of the second world war.

Magazines In Polish

While in Krakow I found some craft magazines.  I picked up the Beading because I've been wanting to dabble in soutache jewelry, and I bought two copies of the Christmas needlework magazine.  One will be the prize in the President's Challenge that I''m running through CyberStitchers.

Banding Along

I now have some more bands done, along with the text!  There's not all that much more to go.

Cold War Relics

Le Memorial has a large Cold War collection, with even some old launch room stuff on display.

Brought Back Liquor

We bought a little bit of liquor to bring back from Poland.  Most of them are not available at all outside Poland.  I also rediscovered mead while we were there.  By the way, Carrefour was having a sale on the Zubrovka.



Filling In The Corners

The corners of the border are about done.  I've got more of the top border done, too, and I will hopefully have it all done next time I work on it.

Cold War Map

 Not only does Le Memorial document the Second World War, it covers the cold war from France's point of view.  This set of photos is a map of cold war military installations.
