Trip to Wrocclaw continued

This is the third time for this blog. The first time I had all the pictures and commentary and somehow lost the whole blog. The second time I had all the pictures and somehow it accidently published and won't let me edit. So here is the commentary for the second try. So you will have to read this commentary and figure out wwhere it goes with the pictures.
We left early Thursday morning so I did not go out with my Nortic Poles as I do every other day.
The weather was rainy with thunder and lightening. The road was a two lane with hundreds of trucks. The only rail line that I know of is for people so all commodities go by truck. So what people do on these narrow 2 lane roads is try to pass wwhenever possible. So many times the 2 lanes become three lanes with no shoulders. so you hug the edge of the road and so does the truck and let whoever is passing have all the room possible.
We arrived in Wroclaw without accident or incident, checked into the Mecure Hotel. After settling in, off we went to the Rynek (Old Town). Wroclaw wasn't destroyed during the 2nd WW so most of the buildings are the same as they were then then. On our way back from the Rynek we went to a womderful market, open on all sides with all kinds of fresh produce, fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses aand flowers. One off the best things we found was a juice stand with fresh carrot juice, of course we partook and it is the first carrot juice we've had since leaving home. OUr meal at tthe Rynek was great, we sat outside under a canopy, had greek salad, fresh pirogies filled with cheese, potatoes, cabbage and browned with a sour cream sause on the side.
Friday first thing in the morning we went about an hour away to the town of Boleslawiec, known for it's pottery. This is where the finest, whitest clay is, which produces the beautiful Polish pottery. The factory that we went to is supposed to be the makers of the finest pottery. The pottery is supposed to be so strong that it can go in the oven, microwwave, dishwasher. It is not supposed to break unless, of course, you throw it on the floor. We got to take a tour through the factory. There are 200 workers all doing different things. It was quite impressive. We couldn't take picturres in the factory itself. Many trade secrets. I told the man in charge that a friend had seen Polish Pottery in Costco back home. He was quick to reply thatwas not from their factory, even though they ship all over the world. They only sell to high end stores. After tthe Pottery place we went over to a Glass blowing factory which also ships all over the world. The building itself is over 100 years old. The glass work is beautiful.
Saturday morning early we loaded up a few purchases and headed home to Warsaw to get ready for Sunday and then the start of another busy week.
