Snow
... the snow champion - and I (Mr Barrett) by far the worst. Note to self: Nike Sneakers are NOT waterproof!!! We had a computer glitch last night - just to let you know: JCC won first prize at the Krakow International Choir Competition with 91% and were crowned category winners.

High Tatras, we finally made it!
... we managed to buy tickets, sprint for the platform (conveniently platform 1 right outside the ticket office) and jump on board with only seconds to spare!
After such a dramatic rush to get on the train, it was a huge disappointment when the train left 5 minutes late. I forgot, Eastern European trains always leave late. The train was packed, we were left standing at the end of a cabin for a 4 hour journey to Poprad. After an hour or so ...
