The Palace of Culture and Science
After a long week in Poland, we are finally back in the good ole' USA! We had a wonderful trip and it was such a great experience and learning opportunity visiting another country.
While we were there, we visited the Old Town, the Warsaw Uprising Museum, saw many monuments and churches, and walked the "Royal Route" to the Royal Castle. Todd had two days in meetings and while he was working I managed to get in a trip to the Spa for a well deserved massage and a trip to the largest mall in Central Europe, the Arkadia Mall (which was built by his company, Skanska!). The hotel that we stayed in was a deluxe, 5 star hotel with all the luxuries of the hotels we have here in the States. It was in the City Centre and we walked everywhere we went.
As for food, we went to fine dining almost every night and ate a variety of food including Polish, International, Mediterranean, American, and Japanese. We ate at a traditional Polish restaurant the first night that we were there. It was definitely my favorite because of the atmosphere and the environment. It was really cool to just see the Polish people in their country and enjoying life as they know it. The name of the restaurant was Folk Gospoda (http://www.folkgospoda.pl/witamy_e.html). It was very much authentic Polish cuisine and Polish culture at it's best! The Polish menus consist of a lot of pork, potatoes, and peirogies. Their food was all very heavy.
Todd and I had a wonderful time spending quality time together. It's so important to stay in tune with each other and spend some time alone every once in a while. By the end of the week, I was missing my babies so much. I couldn't wait until the moment that I could hold them in my arms again!
