Edina Community Education

Join June Gossler online for an evening of wonder! During our hour-long armchair journey to the Old World, we will partake of the wonders of the medieval Market Square, alive with the wonders of winter holidays. We will visit the open-air cloth market filled with wonderous gifts. We’ll view a 1,100 year-old church that has sunk up to the 2^nd floor, and the Church of the Virgin Mary that was the scene of a deadly competition between two brothers as each vied to build the tallest tower. And no visit to Krakow would be complete without a visit to Wawel Castle where we will encounter the fire-breathing Smok, the Polish dragon, that lived in a cave underneath the castle. And we’ll journey to Zakopane, where we will take a one-horse open sleigh ride over the river and thru the forested hills of the Carpathian Mountains.

As part of our Christmas adventure, we will join a gala VIP event, attend a New Year’s Eve concert, and sample the cuisine in one of Krakow’s historic restaurants. And throughout our virtual armchair tour of a Krakow Holiday, we will be exploring some of the history and legends that make up the rich tapestry of Polish culture.

June Anderson is an author who lists history and travel as her favorite pastimes, often combining these two loves into books and PowerPoint talks, which she will share with anyone willing to listen.
