Poland 2009 - My Bag Arrived!

Met Troy for breakfast, afterward we went up stairs but I noticed my bag at the front desk. With joy I grab the bag and headed up stairs to change and unpack. Met Troy at the lobby for the Warsaw tour. Ran into one other person that was signed up, he was from China and very friendly. We ended up with four from the hotel. The dude from China was a professor with a PHD in Engineering; the other was a Physicist from Spain. (Wow, the type of people I admire surrounds me!) We arrived at the entrance to a large park and met up with a couple for a total of six people. I was blown away from the absolute beauty of the landscape! I had always picture Poland and all other Eastern Block Countries as gray and dark. I guess that’s the US propaganda against the former Soviet Union. I must bring Tracy here! At this time of year, it is very awesome. Chopin's monument was in this park we then visited other historical sites such as the Ghetto Memorial, the Monument of Warsaw Uprising, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Grand Theatre,
the Belvedere Palace and ended in Old Town were we started a walking tour passing by the Castle Square, King Sigismund's Column, St. John's Cathedral, the Old Town Market Square and the Barbican.  So far, I have taken 350 photos.
