Warsaw on Wednesday Night

A wonderful day in Warsaw, hanging out with a group UKSW students in Old Town, going through Łazienki Królewskie w Warszawie, the water palace and park of Poland's last king.  Dr. Harris and the students went through the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Several students wished they had more time. They were facinated with what they learned about what happened to Poland during the second world war. For the  first day after a long trip with jet-lag still present, everyone had a great day.

A group of students met us and we had the best time talking about differences in Polish and Ameri

When we were done at the churc
