HOT! HOT! HOT!

I headed to Warsaw after several great days in Krakow.

Warsaw was a lovely city and probably is an awesome place to live.

I just didn't love it as a tourist.

I took the free walking tour (it's a great way to get a feeling for an unfamiliar city) and saw some of the historic sites.

I wandered about, spent some time enjoying the old town, took in an evening light show, and walked a zillion miles down to a beautiful park.

But it was just too damn hot to be sightseeing.

I never really thought of Poland as a place that would be super hot.

Misconception fixed.

I was dying.



Warsaw's Old Town

Marie Curie lived here.

















light show that had accompanying music



A very beautiful park, that was having live music performances,
that was also much further than I expected.
My feet were so unhappy.

This pretty peacock was wandering around. 

And, a few food highlights...

omg. Definitely go here.
DONUTS!

I think this one was "toffee."
Nothing was in English.
Nonetheless, it was AMAZING!

Inside the deliciousness.

A popular Polish food that starts with a 'z' I think.
Don't remember what it was called,
but I do remember being fairly unsure of exactly what I was eating.

pierogies, but probably the least exciting ones I had all week. : (

Warsaw tips:
I stayed here...the hotel was awesome, but maybe the location was a little far from the areas that I wanted to spend time in.
This Indian restaurant had decent food and amazing NAAN.
The best donuts.
I bought some traditional Polish pottery at this shop. Good prices and selection.
I found Polish Christmas ornaments here.
