Not a lot of jet lag for most of us.  The apartment is very nice,  and had two bedrooms and a sofa bed.  Last night,  Dad slept in one room, Paul on the couch, since he wanted to watch TV til the wee hours, (couldn't sleep), and David and I shared a bed.  David kept  me awake half the night with shaky leg syndrome so I know I didn't snore. 
Today, we went to the royal castle and also went by the memorial to the Warsaw Uprising,  which was where the citizens of Warsaw rebelled against the Russian occupation in WWII and the Nazis came in and crushed the uprising and killed 180,000 Poles and, after the rest of the Warsaw residents evacuated,  leveled Warsaw,  while the Russians watched from the other side of the river.  Old Town and the Royal Castle have been completely rebuilt since then.  Hope you enjoy the photos. 
Tomorrow, we will go to the National Museum and also the Polish Army Museum.

Hi there!

I love your travelpod travelog! Looks like you are having great fun. I think your stories could be funnier though....

Dianne, thanks for the feedback. It took me a couple of tries to get comfortable with the website. I'll try to go back to the descriptions and spruce them up. Certainly, it has been real fun staying with my Dad and brothers for 10 days. The entry I am going to put in for Auschwitz won't be too funny.
Take care.
