Warsaw, Poland, Day 1

This morning we arrived to Warsaw. Finally, in Poland. Unfortunately we arrived at 5 AM, and then there were crazy people on our bus. We finally got to lay down and rest, though, and then it was off to the old town.

More appropriately, it was off to pierogies. That's right, not even 8 hours after arriving in Poland, Lyla and I were tucking into happy little puffs of joy (and slight indigestion).

Then we wandered the old town, undaunted by a constant heavy mist. Tremendous churches followed tremendous churches, each tucked between quaintly decorated buildings. It's a colorful city, full of interesting small touches such as antique signage, painted walls, or impressively scary gargoyles.

Speaking of signage, Warsaw is impossibly well signed. It's so lovely to actually know where I am and where I am going!
