July 15, 2010
After our emotional journey during the early part of the day, we were free to roam the old city for a few hours. We enjoyed some of the local fare, including the delicious ice cream, while talking to other tourists - we met a very nice gentleman from Amsterdam. The old town is captivating and was like going back in time.
Our hotel is beside the presidential palace and there is a memorial with pictures, candles and flowers laid at the front for the president and his wife who recently perished in a plane crash. Tonight we will attend a Chopin concert and dinner at a local restaurant. We have probably gained some pounds but definitely lost them walking!!
