Actually, today is Sunday 27 Sept. The pix here date from Thursday, when we went to Wilanow, the summer residence of the 18th-c. kings. Very neo-classical, as you can see. We did a quick tour of the interior, then walked about the grounds a bit.
Two silhouettes . . . some spectacular flowers hereabouts.
After Wilanow, we returned to the old town. Here is Zygmunt's column near the royal castle. To the right of the picture is our hotel, the Castle Inn.
Wendy was tempted by some of the watercolors of Warsaw scenes.
Pigeons are a constant feature hereabouts, competing with the European crows for the odd bit of food.
Friday morning we walked down by the river Wisla (Vistula). The symbol on the wall here is the WWII vintage Polska Walczaza *have to check my Polish here*, meaning Poland fighting. During Solidarity it was adapted to have a letter S and anchor points incorporated.
View of the Old Town in the morning.
Gary taking a bit of the local pastry . . .
Image from Wilanow which we thought interesting--the statue seems to be shading its eyes from the sun.
We came to Lublin on Friday afternoon, and are now comfortably set up in Anna and Tomasz Dadlez's apartment. We will catch up later in the week.
