Caught a plane to Warsaw, Poland today.  Got here and caught a cab to the Radisson hotel where we will meet our tour group tomorrow evening.  We asked the front desk for a lunch recommendation and it was just a couple of blocks away on our same street.  There are flowers in bloom all along the street and the little restaurant had a profusion of flowers, shiny red shutters and a red door.  We sat outside under umbrellas…and it was chilly!  It feels so good not to be burning up…like in Italy.  For lunch, we shared a pork shank with horseradish and grainy mustard, cabbage and mushrooms, crispy small potatoes, potato latkes with freshly made sour cream and some pirogues.  Weren’t wild about the potato stuffed pirogues, but the rest was wonderful!  The pirogues remind me too much of gnocchi…and I really don’t like it.  After the delicious lunch, we went to a big mall that is being remodeled, and found a Thai massage place.  We made an appointment for 5 pm and went back to the hotel to rest a bit.  Had a wonderful massage for an hour and it was only 27.50€…in Polish money.  Quite a bargain.  Food is very inexpensive too.   After the massage, we went to another restaurant and got lamb with tomato sos….that is tomatoe sauce in case you are wondering, with fresh sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, sour cream and a vegetable  latke.   Too much food…but good.   We are back in bed now after a good, hot shower.  Tomorrow morning we are going on a 3 hour tour of the Old,Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Haven’t learned a single word of Polish.  Can’t read any signs.  I’m sure we will manage!
