Day three

June 9, 2013

I am sure all of the days on this trip will be memorable, but this one was very special. You will see why as you view the photos. We started the day visiting the Kraków University. As we entered the courtyard the old clock was playing “Gaudeamus Igitur” and then the various characters began to march. We visited the university museum and saw the Nicolaus Copernicus room. After crossing the square we entered the Art Museum.

After lunch we took an hour ride to visit a sacred spot.

Here are some views of the University
