We both started the day with a run, Dave's being much longer of course. We wandered the streets of Warsaw and admired the beauty of the buildings and city. We both were expecting it to feel more communist, bland, and full of concrete, and were somewhat surprised at how pretty it is. There are a ton of cool parks, the architecture is interesting and diverse, and there sculptures and monuments everywhere.
Yes, we're staying well hydrated.
We decided to go on a bus tour (our first one together) to learn a bit about Warsaw. Admittedly, we aren't great at learning about the history of the places we visit. We like to walk around and look at buildings and eat a lot when traveling. Once in awhile we'll go into a museum or church, but we usually leave a country only slightly less ignorant about it from when we entered. We'd be better humans if we dove in and learned more, but we're happy with how we travel and have a great time, so ignorant (or slightly less) we shall remain. We did learn a little on the bus tour, emphasis on little. It was still cool to see the city from the top of an open-air bus.
Highlight of the day: Dave took me out to dinner for August surprise date to a vegan sushi restaurant. When I think of Warsaw, neither vegan nor sushi come to mind, but let me tell you, it was amazing!
Both punk and non-punk Jami agree, 2 thumbs (or pinkies) up for vegan sushi!
