Warsaw is the most beautiful city so far. I really love Poland a lot actually.
Around dusk, which was actually like 4:30 pm we went to this old summer palace. It was so beautiful, it literally took my breath away. The palace has an ampitheater on an island done to honor the Greeks. It's like from the 1700s. The best part though was the large pond that holds the theater. There were all of these swans. All of sudden the swans flew right by us and over the pond and landed on the water. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. And then, a few minutes later, all of these black birds- I mean THOUSANDS of them flew overheard for like 5 minutes. The sound of their wings was sound loud that our tour guide had to stop talking. There were also peacocks!
The weather in Warsaw has been a little bit rainy, but overall very nice.
Mom, if ever there were a place that I were to come visit but then never come home, it would be Warsaw- no kidding because it's that awesome.
Also, they have a suspension bridge almost exactly like the one in Charleston.
The food in Poland in pretty much amazing. And there's so much I want to say about other things that have happened....okay one quick story. In Krakov there are living statues. They stand so still that they actually look like statues- really they don't move a muscle. They only start to move if you put a few zloty in their little bucket. Well, long story short, when I bent down to put zloty in one of the buckets, the statue man patted my head like Captain Jack Sparrow and winked at me seductively. The other one wrote about me in his journal and kissed my hand. It was pretty much hilarious and flattering.
That's all.
