Our next stop was Wroclaw, Poland, a city that, over the years at various times, has been a part of Germany (formerly known as Breslau), Prussia, Austria, and Bohemia.

Above: one of our first stops was to climb a cathedral tower. This particular tower was actually attached to a church that became Lutheran during the reformation in the 16th century, but it was reclaimed by the Catholic church in the 1940's.

Below: but we only reason we knew to climb the tower was because of a recommendation from our waiter at lunch (tasty authentic Georgian cuisine--the former Soviet republic, not the southern U.S. state).



Above: on the way up.

Below: from the top.


Above and below: more from the top.


Above: more row houses!

Hey Max--your pictures are really good! I would like to have some as posters...(hint hint for Christmas) We are driving to Montreal right now, in the driving rain! We had a beautiful day for Niagara yesterday though.
