POLAND - 6th part - WARSAW
... built in 1952-55 during Soviet time in realistic style.
On the other side of the Vistula river is Praga, a second city as in Hungarish Buda-Pest.
Praga looks like the poor sister of Warsaw with its grey hold houses, a bazar market, an elegant orthodox church and another catholic with two red towers close to the bridge.

Miracles and Prayers

The priest was very nice and let us look at the books, but there were no entries for the family. We took some photos and drove to Warsaw. It was a beautiful day , although a little cloudy.
