Well, not really ... but the memorable JFK quote comes to mind.
Got here yesterday morning. The night train from Krakow was more familiar if not more comfortable ... met a New York law student on the train, and yesterday morning he just kept saying "I can't believe you did this twice..."
Made my way here to the Pension Peters (the desk people get a kick of me, with the Family name Peters, staying here.) The room wasn't available yet, but the desk guy said I could stow the luggage and invited me to have some breakfast. Then I went out walking for a couple of hours, till the room was ready. Did some bakery research as I made my way around, with very pleasing results.
My room is small, but very clean and very quiet...it opens into an inner courtyard ... and I have my own bathroom and shower. There's also cable TV, so I could see some CNN and BBC in English last night ... and watched a little of the Cosby Show dubbed in German. I slept very well.
Last night I wound up at an Italian restaurant in an alley (of sorts) called the 12 Apostles. I chose the place mainly because of the name ... there's a place I remember in Rome called the 12 Apostles that's known for Carbonara. This one didn't have Carbonara, so I got a pizza, which was great ... about 14 inches diameter, VERY thin crust, with light tomato and cheese, big pieces of fresh hot peppers, spicy pepperoni and paprika. It was called "Pizza Judas." That with a glass of the house red wine, made for a great supper. Once I got inside, I discovered many of the waiters to be Italian, and there were lots of reserved tables (which were filling as I left ... I ate early, about 7pm) so that affirmed it to be a good, popular place.
Today I'm doing the zoo, and then I'll see what else.
