The food will take your breathe away

Poland is a country that is doing a good job at recovering from its communist days.  It is also the heritage that my dads side of the family holds, so I grew up on Polish food.  Let me tell you, I was impressed with everything.  Food, History, and Nightlife is a big part of my traveling itinerary and this country had it all.

Krakow is a brilliant city.  Situated around the old town with cobble stone streets, this city defines Poland.  I had the opportunity to go around this city and see different sites such as the old town, Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps which were extremely sad to go to as so many atrocities have passed through those gates.  The salt mines are worth a look at as they are way underground and they have made shapes of elves and of course Pope John Paul out of salt.  I enjoyed the nightlife here as there were many cave like underground bars which I am always obsessed with.

Warsaw I have been back to a couple of times.  It is a beautiful city (although the weather is always bad there every time I go).  There is major history there as you can find the old town as well as the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial.  Walking along the streets brought me back to a city that is really up and running and have done a great job in transforming their economy. Why not go to listen to a Frederic Chopin classical concert!!! There is also an ice bar there (of all places) that is very hidden.  It is not a big attraction, but that is what I like about it.  Here is a city which you will never run out of things to do…
