Eating our Way Through Europe, brought to you by Project Runway: Perogis

I didn't feel like it was appropriate to add this to the end of the Auschwitz post, since it seems pretty frivolous when compared with what we saw at the camps, so I started a new post. Our food tour continued in Poland, where we enjoyed delicious perogis at a cute little restaurant with a fireplace and all-wooden paneling. It was very cozy after returning to Krakow to find a snowstorm and having a bit of a scare about our train tickets to Berlin. Poland is strange and doesn't let you book tickets online unless you are in the country, so we used this service called PolRail to have an American living in Poland book the train tickets for us. He then mailed them to the post office in Krakow and gave us a sheet of paper with Polish written on it for us to hand to the teller to get our tickets. Except no one seemed to know what we were looking for and kept shuffling us from window to window in the post office. Needless to say we were getting a little nervous and I was imagining being stuck in Poland in a blizzard. But finally we found ourselves at the right window and got our tickets and all was well. We trudged through the snow to eat the yummy perogis before hopping on our fourth of four overnight trains, off to Berlin!
