Tuesday began in Warsaw. We had a new tour guide, Agneska (Agnes). Our first stop was the church of Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko, who was violently murdered in 1984. (A modern day martyr)
We then continued on our bus tour of Warsaw. We drove through the area that was the Jewish ghetto during WWII. It is now a neighborhood with many apartments and in the middle there is a large memorial to the Jewish people of the area.
This was one of my favorite spots, the memorial statue for Frederic Chopin. Beautiful park with a striking sculpture.
"Old Town" Warsaw. It is in the location of the old town of Warsaw, but almost all of Warsaw was destroyed during WWII. This is the "new" old town. Dad and I had some delicious pierogi's here!
I have been trying to get a photo up of St. Maximillian Kolbe's church/center up. I am having a little trouble with the blogger software. Will try again soon!
