There is no way that either Kate or I would have ever imagined that we would be spending our 39th wedding anniversary in Warsaw, Poland but due to an airfare special from a German airlines that is exactly where we landed on our anniversary.

Der Reisende

Our voyage through life has taken a rather pleasant and unexpected turn. After spending three years in Bavaria in the beautiful town of Ansbach and two more in Landstuhl, near the French and Luxembourg borders, Kate was accepted for a two year extension at the Landstuhl Military Hopsital.

Saw this as we were entering a large shopping mall in Warsaw. One of these signs is definitely different. Something you would probably not see at an entrance to a U.S. shopping mall.

hello
Thank you for a very interesting travelblog entry. I just wanted to point out one mistake you made while signing the photos. Building on a pic nuber 20 is not a seat of President of Poland but a Mayor of Warsaw. You can find Presidential Palace right here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/2_Palac_Prezydencki_30.jpg Greetings!

There was 2 uprising
In Warsaw was 2 uprising: 1. Ghetto uprising 2. Warsaw uprisng "The Little Insurgent" is monument for larger Warsaw uprising. The Escapers at "Uprising Memorial - The Escape" are escaping from Old Town - not from Ghetto! Ghetto uprising at that time was old time gone... Also - its little known that Nazi bulid Warsaw concentration camp. Look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_concentration_camp

I'm heading to Warsaw myself in a couple of weeks, as part of a backpacking trip around Eastern Europe, and I really enjoyed your blog. Confirmed many of the things I want to see when I'm there! Thank you.
