Warsaw Week One

We've already been in Warsaw for a week so it's time for a post with highlights from the week. We arrived late Saturday night so our week really started last Sunday. Peter, Jessa, and Rosie met us for a lovely Sunday outing at a brunch market. There were lots of delicious stalls selling food from many different cuisines. It was a really fun day.

We kicked back on Monday, still recovering from jet lag plus our delayed luggage situation. We rented an apartment in the building next door to Peter, Jessa, and Rosie, so the commute to see each other is super easy. This is Rosie heading off to dinner with all of us.

Peter took a personal day on Tuesday so the four adults headed to the southern part of Warsaw that is called Wilanów. This is the area of town where we used to live. We went by our old house and visited some our favorite Polish pottery shop. We also toured Wilanów Palace (above), home of Jan III Sobieski, a beloved king of Poland. 

On Wednesday, Peter went back to work and Jessa joined us at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. It's a fairly new museum. It was interesting and very well done and got our stamp of approval. 

On Thursday, Brad and I went to a Chopin museum as well as a Cold War museum. The Cold War Museum was in Old Town so we walked around there for awhile (above), but it was quite cold so we didn't saunter.

On Friday we didn't do any touristing. Jessa and I had a girls afternoon and in the evening we all went out for dinner at a Spanish restaurant. It was delicious and a perfect way to start the weekend. We're here until Thursday and we're looking forward to more fun times with special people in this special place.
