....and I like Okocem Beer, even though the brewery is now owned by Carlsberg. I have a local distributor who brings it in by the case for me and it, of course, costs much more than in Kracow.

The church steeple I posted is old St. Mary's where the firemen blow the bugle every hour in commemoration of the bugler who was shot through the neck as he attempted to warn the city of an impending attack from the huns? over 600 years ago.

St. Mary's Church was the Church Pope John Paul II served as bishop of Krakow.

Attending mass there makes one wonder why the Church isn't truly catholic any longer. There are no lay distributors or lectors, communion is not permitted in the hand and the important parts of the mass are chanted in Latin. Further, there is no chatter as one enters the sanctuary as everyone knows that something important happens here.

" who was shot through the neck as he attempted to warn the city "

This is only a legend.

BTW If that church is not truly catholic, so I don't know what is.
