I arrived yesterday at 12:30 PM, after an hour and a half in Munich. The flight from Boston to Munich was fine, as was Munich to Krakow, though the wind was a-blowin' in Krakow. It's chilly here, as it may be there. I'm staying with Joachim and Beata Mencel and their three kids. Joachim is the piano player Brad Terry often plays with, when the two are in the same place. Brad is here so they're in the same place now and playing a final concert in Poland tomorrow in an abandoned salt mine. I'll try to take photos and blog about it tomorrow night. Monday morning I'm off to Tel Aviv, via Munich, and Brad is headed back to the States.
The Mencels have three kids: Veronika, 17; Janek, 12; Tosia, 9, all together in a four room apartment with a bathroom - not what you'd call extra space but they make do with a little shuffling of sleeping places and Beata tending to the kids and food like a mom-hostess extraordinaire.

I haven't yet figured out how to adjust the photos beyond placing them left, right or center. Hence, this layout.

Great photos! Tell Brad that Cole says hi, and that he bought a Rovner ligature for his clarinet, per Brad's recommendation.
