Jarmark Wielkanocny (Easter Fair)

Today we strolled down to the town square to peruse the Easter Market. Katowice's markets are smaller than markets in other cities, but I greatly appreciate that they put forth the effort to put one together. And although it is the wrong season for gluhwein, there are still plenty of indulgences!



   Join along for a stroll through the booths.. My sincerest apologies if you get a little hungry...

Boczek (bacon)

Kielbasa and Ser (cheese)

Kielbasa, lots of kielbasa!

Painted Easter Eggs

Kibini (pastry filled with ground pork and potato)

Amber Jewelry

Babki (cakes) and Piernik (gingerbread cookies)

Easter Cakes

Grandmother's Yeast Cake

Wool Pelts and Slippers
   Well, there's a taste of the Katowice Easter Fair. Tomorrow we are off to Vienna to check out the Easter Markets as well as an Easter Festival on Sunday.

Do zobaczenia (see you later - doh zobachenyah)!
