Tyniec

Whaddup, folks?

Last week--on a Tuesday, in fact--I took a little day trip to the lovely nowhere town of Tyniec. Its real--and, I think only--attraction is the Benedictine Abbey, which dates back to the 11th century. It. Was. Lovely. And totally worth the $1 of bus fare (amazing...!).

Terrific Tarnow

Ahem, before we cover anything else, it's actually pronounced "Tarnov," but I'm attempting to be all Polish and shit, and am thus spelling it "en polski," to blend both French and Polish.

So, here are my pictures from Tarnow. It's a small town outside of Krakow by about an hour train ride. It's, in a word, adorable. Christine and I escaped there a couple weekends ago (Warsaw pictures are forthcoming, by the way), and it was completely worth it. Well, mostly. I mean, every museum we went to was closed--February=the huge off-season, apparently...--and I managed to have a minor allergic reaction from some salad dressing. Still, it was lovely to get out and about and away from the big city.

Here are my pictures--enjoy:
