A couple weekends ago we took a two-night retreat to Warsaw. :) Last year we had the chance to visit several places outside of Poland...this year we've stayed at home. But, we did get to take a mini-vacation just to get away for a couple nights. The Poles around our area don't seem to be too keen on Warsaw because it's big and modern...to them it doesn't really feel Polish. We noticed a couple things about Warsaw...
1. You have a big modern-skyscraper skyline on one side and old European architecture on the other....strange, but we thought it was pretty cool. :)
2. Warsaw is VERY international...we spoke English the whole time *she says sheepishly*
3. There's a jazz bistro and a sushi bar on every corner!
4. They have a Hard Rock Cafe!! And we totally ate there. The giant building in the background was a "gift" from Stalin (the Russians). The Poles hate it. The Russians meant for it to be a "gift" to them to remind them that their "big brother" was always watching. Now, it's a movie theater. (okay okay, not ONLY a movie theater but that's what you enter through the main enterance. Scott and I thought it was pretty cool.
5. The squirrels there have long ears! Crazy! They'll eat right out of your hand too.
So...it was a fun trip! You can see all of our pictures from Warsaw here...http://picasaweb.google.com/ScottandJackieNewman/Warsaw
