So, strangely enough, not far from Hitler's headquarters you can find the first LDS church that was built in Eastern Europe... sometime in the second half of the 1800s. Sorry, my facts aren't very specific, but it's kind of hard to find much info on it. At any rate, there used to be a big LDS group here but once communism spread to the area it became harder to practice and many members emigrated. Now it is a Catholic church!
The rustic road where the church is found
Afterwards, we went to a local tavern to ask for directions and sat down to some apple juice.
This was a very strange joint... I wish I could have taken a picture of the owner, but I didn't dare. Maybe his decor will give you a clue to what he was like...
It was one of those experiences where you're like, "How the heck did I get here??" He also had a couple huge dogs wandering around the tables, one was the size of a bear, I swear.

What an awesome tavern! Is that a wild boar? And that apple juice looks a lot like beer...
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteHeck yes, it's a wild boar. Jeez. The best thing was the "szczupaks." They're the eel looking things. Yeah, all drinks in the pub are served in beer mugs. Poles love beer and vodka. Emily was trying to impress.
ReplyDeleteI would have been to scared to stay there. It's good you have Ben to protect you.
ReplyDeleteAre the szczupaks similar to four feeters?
