Where in the world is Erica?

While Austin finishes writing his thesis and Erica waits for her UK work visa, she is spending some time visiting Dragan in Krakow :) This is my second time here and I really like this city. Nice public transport in a city with lots of growth, the occasionally sunny day (like today) which is a nice treat for early March in Central Europe, a gorgeous city center/old town with tons of museums, and some of the best beer I've ever tried (I've only had one so far that was 'meh'). It's also been quite a lot of fun living a different lifestyle and it's been a nice change of pace and scenery as I wait to start my post-doc.

I haven't taken quite so many photos (my camera needs a break after so many road trips this last year!) but I did manage to capture a few shots on my phone. Hopefully the sun will stick around for our next excursion-for now I will relax my sore muscles (after walking around all day yesterday) and enjoy the sunshine from afar!

Feels just like home! :)

Some fantastic cheesecake that Dragan made!



Sunday was a gorgeous day so we went to the Krakow zoo. 

...then walked around and found a castle (owned by the university). Nice real estate ;)
