Day 2 (still in Warsaw) Recap
After I woke up at 7:30am, which is 10:30pm in California we had breakfast in the hotel. If you look at the hotel listings below, you can see just how nice it actually is. Breakfast was very delicious and had most things one would find in a hotel breakfast; eggs, bacon, rolls, juice. It also had some meats, fish, and of course, sausage.
After that, Chris, Roxi, Robin, and I went out on a morning stroll around Warsaw. I didn’t bring my camera for that but I think you can take my word for it. We went to the local supermarket and looked around at Polish groceries for a little bit. We needed to be back at 10:00am because we were having a guide show us around where the Jewish Ghetto was during WWII. Obviously, there was not much to see now except a few walls and a couple original buildings. It is hard to believe that there were 450,000 people crammed into 2ish square miles. We also went to the Jewish Historical Museum and looked around a bit. Here are several pictures.
What used to be the largest Jewish synagogue in the world was next door to the building that contained the Jewish museum, but it’s space is now occupied by a large office building. Sigh.
We looked at a few more monuments then headed back to the hotel so Chris and I could find a cafe.
