Warsawa

Warsaw is actually a much nicer city than i thought it was going to be! It is pretty big and somewhat spread out, but there are lots of little parks and a few big parks interspersed throughout the city and that makes it much more likeable. The old town is beautiful, even if you can tell that it isn't hundreds of years old. They did a good job of rebuilding it after the war, for sure. Last night I went up to the top of the Palac cultury and the views are beautiful.
Leaving Leipzig was so hard! Caroline came to see me off and then just a couple minutes before the train left Konrad showed up on his bike...it was so great to see them both one last time. I will miss them and Mohammed and Shahid and Elfi and...oh, there are others i'm sure and i'll miss them all dearly.
My train was fun, on the last stretch i met a girl from here in poland but she is going back to the states...boston, today. the world gets smaller and smaller.
This morning i went to a park on the recommendation of a friend. This park is pretty big and has several cool buildings/monuments in it but the coolest part were the peacocks!! some of them even fanned their tails for me but the squaked horribly loud too.
tomorrow i'm going to the warsaw uprising museum. i saw the monument today and that was really cool...i'm really bad about taking pictures and stuff though, so you can see it on the internet if you are curious =)

Hey, Megan! How good to read from you, and to hear that you're fine! I've not been to Warsaw yet, but you really make me feel like going there. Sounds like it's a great city. Is it warm and spring-like there? You know, after you left the chill came back to Leipzig ;-)
Hugs! Carolin
