Warsaw is Beautiful. However I just found out that Poland does not have bagels...

         So I am officially in Warsaw. And to this point I have been up over 27 hours with no sleep! Also you will have to pardon any spelling mistakes. I do not have the internet password yet so I am on Kinga's laptop and it is telling me that everything I have written is wrong as it is Polish. Kinga picked me up at the air port and we cruised around for a bit. At the moment Warsaw is covered with a thin layer of ice and snow. It is really beautiful! Besides just driving around, Kinga has taken me to the Warsaw version of central park. It has an awesome Palace and beautiful scenery!!

        The Big thing we did today that was absolutely awesome was go to the Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego. It is an museum that is dedicated in honoring the Polish effort in pre-WW2 and post WW2. It had galleries that show cased old weapons used by the Nazi party or the Polish rebels. It also had a real used bomber on display that sadly you could not get into. Another cool presentation was that of a 3-D movie that showed Warsaw before and after the bombing, as well as statistics on deaths and destruction. It was a great history lesson and totally moved you. You don't realize the sacrifice that the Polish people gave until you experiance something  like this first hand.

       Kinga just asked me what I want for breakfast as she is going grocery shopping, and I said bagels would be great. Guess what... Poland does not have bagels and has never really heard of them... Talk about upsetting hahaha. But now I am going to try and go to bed. I am sleep starved and hopefully have a productive day ahead of me. Hopefully I have beaten jetleg hahaha.

I will have my photo's up and running soon so check those out!
