Gary’s class finished in the early afternoon on the last day, so we were able to go into the city for some sightseeing. First we went to Lazienki Park which has a statue of Chopin (he was from Warsaw) as well as free concerts.
The kids enjoyed the animals more than hanging out at the free music concert.
Ethan and Sienna liked feeding bread to the ducks, 
and they tried feeding the peacocks bread too, but the pigeons quickly came to take part in eating. 
We saw a number of people feeding squirrels, but they were more interested in nuts than the bread that we had.
Gary saw on a map that Warsaw had a street named Sienna, and spelled the same way as we do (the city in Italy is spelled differently), so we thought it would be neat to get Sienna’s picture made by the street sign.
Afterward we went to an area with a large water fountain that we figured the kids would enjoy. We thought it would be fun to eat dinner and sit by the fountains.
As we got close to the fountain there was a ton of traffic and a four-lane road blocked off with barriers for people to walk through. Come to find out there was a concert in the area of the water fountain. We arrived probably an hour or more before the concert began and left after a couple of songs (the concert began at the kids’ bedtime).
There were barriers in front of the fountains, but the kids enjoyed seeing all of the people walking around.
For those of you who don’t live in Hungary, you won’t know the significance of the picture above. It’s the pizza box! Yes, Poland had Domino’s Pizza, something Hungary does not have! And Gary loves Domino’s Pizza. Ethan always picks the cheese off of his pizza (he doesn’t like cheese), but he actually ate this pizza, cheese and all! It was a great evening sitting in the park watching people, watching the water fountains, and eating Domino’s Pizza! And the weather was perfect!
