Tonight we are in a beautiful Agritourist site near Krakow. The site is in the very small village of Gacki. Gacki is full of very wealthy looking homes in a valley surrounded by granite cliffs. We choose Gacki because we knew there would not be much sight seeing today as we had a four hour drive to Krakow. Tomorrow it is supposed to continue with the cold and rain all day, so we decided we would wait out the weather. The weather is supposed to improve Thursday with sun and highs near 70! So we decided to find somewhere we could relax the next two days rather than fight mother nature.
We arrived about 2pm. The owner of the campground invited us to arrange a meal with his mother at the cafe so we walked up there. She showed us around the cafe and told us the story of her great grandfather who left his wife and 5 children in a small village in Poland to go to the United States for a few years to earn some money. He returned one time with a bunch of gifts and then headed back to the US never to return again. It is rumored that he had another family in the US. She ended the story by saying I assume he is buried somewhere in America, but we don’t know where. We arranged for lunch tomorrow and she promised to make us some famous Polish dishes.
Now we are happily settled in, listening to the birds sing, the wind blow in the trees, and the brook babbling by. Life is good and on top of the beautiful nature we have strong WiFi which means tonight will be movie night.
