Arrival in Gdansk


Here we are in Gdansk, and it's July 4th weekend! This is the second-to-last destination of our trip before returning home to the States, and you can bet that we're going to make the most of our time in the remaining week!


After a lovely train ride through northern Poland this morning, we arrived mid-afternoon to this city-on-the-Baltic. After getting settled in the Lival Hotel, we had a 4 o'clock meeting scheduled with some Polish natives (and a German journalist to boot) interested in practicing their English and telling us all there is to know about their home- complete with fascinating hand-drawn slides! Then, they took us on a tour of the Old Town of Gdansk and led us to a delicious dinner that they assured us was safe of tourist traffic (and the tourist prices)!


As for tomorrow, we'd like to wish you all a wonderful July 4th! Our plans include swimming in the Baltic, touring the shipyards out of which came Solidarity, and enjoying our last night in Gdansk!
