Zakopane


This week we have been in Zakopane, Poland,  a resort town in the mountains of Southern Poland that reminds me a little of  Jackson, Wyoming.  The main street, Krupowki Street,  is supposedly closed to vehicles  and is full of shops and restaurants.  Seth and Jenna were always quick to point out the many ice cream stands.  We tried several different  foods at the various food stalls and  liked everything except the smoked sheep cheese.   There are several ski resorts here and Sam wishes we could come back in a few months to try them out.   It's been nice to spend a week here in the fresh mountain air.

Ready to walk down the driveway of our house.  The houses in the distance are on the next hill.
We could see sheep  in the fields.  

Jenna on the lane to get to our apartment.  Yes it is very narrow and  you have to watch  out for cars.  

More of the lane to our house

Our apartment is in this building.  And yes, the driveway is very steep!

Park in Zakopane.  We rode the cable car to the top of the mountains in the distance.

  1. This looks a little Park City-ish. The autumn leaves look beautiful.

  2. It looks like a wonderful place to visit. I envy all that mountain scenery, blue skies, cool temperatures--it looks like a great place to visit, but also a good time of year to be there. Grandpa Hull

  3. I must say, that picture with the houses in the back ground on the next hill looks as though the place is just lovely. I can only imagine all the beautiful things you guys have seen.
