I arrived in Warsaw on Sunday evening and on Monday began looking for an interesting way to learn more about this complex city.
I found Adventure Warsaw and was able to book a tour for Tuesday. Mariusz was the tour guide and he had us laughing a lot. We learned so much about the history of the city, of the Polish Resistance, and the occupation of these courageous and proud people. It was an amazing tour with a hefty serving of empowerment and historical relevance. In hindsight I am not sure how I didn't connect Pope John Paul II to the uprising, but now it makes perfect sense. The virtual soul of the city and the entire country was involved. The desire to finally have their country and culture back in their own hands. We were also taken to the rough part of the city to experience an authentic Polish lunch.
So, I laughed and learned and ate and fell a little bit more in love with the people of this city. I highly recommend. read more
