Christmas eve was spent in Krakow. We went to midnight mass at a church in the square. I think it was St. Andrews. The church is huge and richly adorned with gold. The benches were very hard and the kneelers were made of wood without any padding. You can see the pictures of the church here.
We are now in Krynica, Poland. This is the town where we believe the Olszewski family came from. We drove here on Christmas day and decided to spend the night rather than drive back in the dark.
The town is very beautiful with Christmas decorations everyone. This place is exactly how Mom imagined Poland would be so this had really made the trip worthwhile.
Today we are going to try one of the churches to see if we can find any relatives. If there's time I plan to go snowboarding at the ski resort on the mountain Jaworzyna Krynicka which is right down the road.
