Warsaw

This is where a sad story comes. Erica has a job interview and so she wanted to fly out early. We had agreed that we were ready to go back, but I didn't know for sure if I could change my flight. Arriving to the airport, the KLM attendent was sure to let me know it would not be possible to make any changes in my flight, even for a small fee. Unfortunately Erica had already made the changes to her flight, paying money to change it. So Erica and I parted ways on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning I headed to the Baltic Coast. That is where I am now...in a town called Gdansk. Today I spent the day walking around listening to more street performances and tomorrow I will walk the 10 km to Sopot to sit on the beach for the day.

I guess I didn't say much about Warsaw...we walked around Tuesday night after the disappointing airport visit...but I was a little bitter about being left alone for 5 days that I wasn't really paying attention to where we were going...although we did see a lot of the city and it was way nicer than we anticipated. Here is a picture of people ballroom dancing or something in one of the squares. Notice how the houses in the background don't look real...they were. It is a playful big town.



And now, like I said, I am in Gdansk. Here was my dinner:



A pirate ship or something in the Motlawa river on the way to the Baltic Sea:



The rain gutters or whatever they are called, there were a billion of them all along this street:



And last for today, one of the street performances...break dancers:
