One last picture of Potsdam...I love these pedestrian shopping areas...
We took the train to Poland -- it was a beautiful ride through the countryside...I have that on video.
The village we visited: Consonants 11 - Vowels 4; Poles believe in consonants.
The square where we ate -- prior to the war...this is a port city and was bombed heavily during the war.
The reconstruction of the square --
The Polish castle of this area...note the interesting square form rather than those fairy tale castles in other parts of Europe.
Detail of castle -- loved it!
Musicians inside the castle rehearsing for a concert later that night -- how I wish we could have stayed...
The Tibetan monks were also chanting...look at the man second from right on the stage -- he emitted a sound from his mouth I have NEVER hear before -- I captured it on the video...just ask me. Chuck! are you ready for this one???
Again, you can see how few vowels the Poles use in spelling their words.
On the square where we ate -- Vaughn's Carolina hat evoked a comment from the guy in the back who had just received his Ph.D. from Chapel Hill....it is a small world, as we found out!
