Sunday, June 19th. My friend Damian needs to return to Kraków, but in the afternoon. Why don't we explore what we can during the morning, while he's still around?
Exactly.
Getting off and out of Warszawa Centralna train station, we went east, looked around the corner, and boom! The Palace of Culture and Science! I didn't think it would be right there. Don't know where I thought, just not there. Alright, good landmark to know.

Our 1st stop (the park, not the museum) |
|
Good day, Fryderyk Chopin! |
|
Nice park |
|
Tourist moment. Thanks Damian! |
|
What a pose |
|
Dad would be proud! Thanks again, Damian! |
|
Benches with info that play music. Brilliant! |

Hmm, makes me think of Cuba a little bit . . . |
|
Yay, architecture . . . |
|
They don't make columns like they used to. |
|
Whoa, enough columns there? |
|
Complete Renovation |
|
Hooray for clear signs that point you in the general direction! |

A prestigious hotel |

|
Just look at the detail. |
|
Whoa, hey there. |
|
That's a funky clock |
|
Did I mention that I like architecture? |
|
Ugh, train platform. Bye Damian. |
Thanks for coming along, Damian. Thank you so much again for helping to drag my stuff all the way from Kraków to Podkowa Leśna. Thank you also for volunteering to be my unofficial interpreter. So kind of you. Til we meet again!
