July 14
Our city tour of Warsaw today revealed not only the dramatic modern skyline of the business district, beautiful parks and heroic statues (ex:Chopin), but the completely rebuilt Old Town, recreated from an artist's paintings of the 16th century buildings which stood here prior to WWII. Every building looked authentic and is occupied by residents and businesses that want to keep their identity here. In reality, Warsaw is only 70 years old.
Lunch on our own, Claire and I enjoyed stuffed cabbage rolls at a picturesque little bistro.
Farewell reception with our group tonight before packing for home. A most successful and special trip with new-found friends.
