Last day in Warsaw

July 18,2009

Today is our last day in Warsaw, we got still a few sites to visit and plus its not so bad because we know at the end of our trip we'll be coming back here for one more day before our fight back home haha!

We're starting to tour the Mazovian countryside. We're getting a tour of charming little villages, palaces and manor houses all along the countryside. The battlefield in kampinos national park really does send shivers down my spine. Knowning that so many men lost their lives in these fields really makes one think...

I can't beleive we're visiting the home of Federic Chopin a wonderful pianist and one of the great masters in romantic music, in Zelazowa Wola.

We're eating a late lunch in Nieborow. Our typical polish lunch consists of : a soup known as zurek ( sour rye meal mash ), followed by an appetizer of herring . The main course is breaded pork cutlet with vegetables ( cabbage and carrots) with lemon and sugar dressing and a side dish of potatoes. And finaly for desert, poppy seed cake ( makowiec)... Talk about a hardy meal!! I think the girls and I will be stuffed till tomorrow morning.
