We have arrived in Warsaw. We went straight into some tourism on Wednesday, to get pilgrims on the right sleep cycle. Many are slow to rise this morning, but at least we are quickly acclimating to a new time zone.
We are amazed at the courage and tenacity of the Polish people. A people that have refused to be dominated by the many powers that have surrounded them throughout history, and have continuously struggled to be who they truly are...Polish, friendly, generous, and courageous in the face of terrible odds. Simply, a people of Faith and Hope.
These are some of the sites:
The Royal Castle (a symbol of the Polish people)
The Little Insurgent (commemorates the youngest participants of the Warsaw uprising). The people of Warsaw have risen up against oppression many times, the images below commemorate the Warsaw Uprising near the end of World War II. The city was brutally punished by the Nazi forces.
