More Warsaw

Here's me. See mom and dad, I'm happy and well-fed, not lonely and starving! Peacocks roam free at the "Palace on the Water" in beautiful Lazienki Park. The park is full of green paths and topiary, and cute couples making out, reminding you that you are travelling alone for 5 months. In that same park there's a huge art-nouveau monument to Chopin (created in 1926) looking over a big fountain and pool with lots of benches and grass all around. Apparently they hold Chopin concerts here every weekend in the summer. I also visited the final resting place of Chopin's heart. Yup, it's preserved in a pillar of one of the churches in the town center. It was fun to remember the days when I played piano and was obsessed with Chopin.Remote controls to your heart's desire at the super shady (and I don't mean there are lots of trres) and very large "Russian Market" on the other bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw.
