We had another glorious day in Warsaw. :-)
After touring Old Town, hunting down the rare nie gazavano bottled water, and New Town, we heavily stimulated the Polish economy with much jewelry and accessory purchasing.
It was nice to see each other again this morning after the evening with our hosts. I've never stayed with a stranger, so it was weird. But after getting to see each other all day and exchange stories about our home stays, it is less weird. And I appreciate my home stay very much. Angelica is a perfect host. As we speak she is sharing many things with me, including crackers, wine, and benefits from her work -- concert tickets! Thursday night we are to see Jose Gonzalez -- who I have not only heard of but like very much. I was fantasizing about being able to see a concert in Poland and now I am! What an unexpected surprise.
What else can I tell you our first full day? Poland is such an amazing testament to the human spirit. Triumph over tragedy. Learning about the Polish uprising, seeing historical sites. Hmm... Poland will be a great nation forever because they cannot be defeated in any way. They exist and always will.
Tomorrow we visit Parliment, a park, and perhaps a little shoppy. Laura chastises me for butchering the English language by saying shoppy.
Shopping.
There, Laura. Are you happy??? ;-)
It is a great time. This GSE experience is astounding. More tomorrow!
