More pictures…

Here are some more pictures from recent excursions.

   

It’s always an adventure ordering from a Polish menu. Never know what you’re going to get.  I knew what the soup was… it’s called żurek. It has some sausage, potatoes, and other vegetables, and it’s really good! The other dish is typical of entrees… A meat filet, some type of potatoes, and salads. Here I had three types: cabbage, carrots, and beets. It turns out I don’t like beets.  I’ve tried them twice now, and I just don’t like ‘em.

This is a cafe called Cacao Republika near the old town square (tourist area). Again, I ordered a hot chocolate kind of blindly. I ended up with a drink that was good at first, but a short way in (after cooling a bit) it tasted like chocolate pudding with some weird stuff added. I couldn’t place the strange taste at first, and then I realized… it had rose petals in it! Not my favorite experience actually. But it’s a cool place. I’m thinking I would enjoy other treats.

This picture is for you, Amber. Is this the amazing kebab you’re talking about? I do enjoy them. The meat is nicely but very subtly seasoned.  Yum. Great quick meal.

I walked by a random shop that had science equipment for schools. :) szkoła = school, so szklolab makes me think of school and lab… That’s my hunch, anyway. Not at all verified.

I received this lovely housewarming present from Milena. I didn’t have anything else to put under it, so paper towel inside a foil square it was.
