After 10 days of rainy weather we lucked out on this particular Saturday with sunny skies and ideal temps. It was such a beautiful day to visit the sites. Not to be forgotten! You probably can't really tell, but in the background is a wedding party.
The Presidential Palace.... the equivalent of the White House. The brown cross (a source of controversy between the older more traditional generation and the younger more secular generation) is in honor of the president and his wife who were killed last April in a plane wreck.
Many Poles have paid their respects in front of the palace
Nowy Swiat... a very quaint street just outside Old Town. Love it!
This is how we roll. We have loved our double stroller!
The Palace of Culture and Science is the tallest building in Poland and Stalin's pet project just before he died. Most Poles don't like it because it's a throwback to Communist times. Ironically, it is patterned after the Empire State Building.
We went to the top to see the magnificent views of Warsaw
Em, apparently not afraid of heights
Caroline... she's the greatest!
The Warsaw Ghetto wall has of course been destroyed, but the perimeter has been preserved and marked. Pretty neat.
Em walking along where the wall once was
Sometimes Em would just get tired on our outings and take a little rest.
