about the town

Some strolling around the town and you get some fun happy photos, in the days when t-shirts were able to be worn alone without a jacket and scarf and beanie. Today starts with blue skies, but as I type the clouds are already sneaking in.... the sneaky buggars.

The photos go from Park Saski, through old town, and down to the Vistula. Enjoy.

Wawa bits

Warsaw, how does one describe it? Many people have asked why I live here, when I could live anywhere really on earth. Fact is, it is actually a beautiful place. It is a European capital, so in parts it feels like Berlin or Paris, other times it can feel like downtown Grozny circa 2003. However, that is the beauty. Warsaw is multifaceted, it should be called "the onion" of a city. As, every time you pull off one layer you find another, different, and independent of the previous. Beauty is everywhere, if you get the time in the day to slow your pace, look up, look down, and absorb your surroundings. Here are some varying bits. :)

Building Warsaw, City Museum, Warsaw

At the end of last year the Warsaw City Museum had a display titled "The Building of Warsaw" (Warszawa w Budowie). It talked a little of planning and the history of building.















We nearly bought a house on Genewska some time ago, right next to the river.


The original house for 4 people.

We also got treated with a testing of the Christmas lights! :D
