Three things we each like about Krakow at first blush:

Eleanor:

1. There are vegetarian restaurants almost all around town. 
2. Every hour the trumpet plays one half of a song from the tower in the Square.
3. Wawel Castle is awesome.

Owen:

1. The food is good -- particularly the Russian dumplings.
2. Cars actually stop for you when you cross the street.
3. We have our own neighborhood castle.

Brenna:

1. We walk everywhere to do everything.
2. The Square - at every hour of every day, in any weather.
3. Poles don't litter, and they're very polite.

Bob:

1. The Square in the center of Old Town is amazing
2. Our apartment is better than I could have imagined.
3. Lunch for a family of 4 can be found for $12.00 US.
