Warsaw - an evening wandering
















Arrived in Warsaw at about 3:30 on Sunday. Cloudy with a dusting of snow - and almost dark. Evening was upon us by the time we go to the hotel.

Went for a walk through the downtown area - wonderful park, old city, a couple churches and a long shopping stretch filled with holiday lights.

85% of Warsaw was destroyed in World War 2 - and most of the people were killed or left. Much of the architecture is post ww2 communist buildings - but still some items that were spared and many rebuilt or restored. It is an easy place to walk - people out all over enjoying the evening and the Christmas decor.
