Friends in Poland

Let Fela Kuti lead you on a stroll through beautiful Poland...



Upon arrival in Warszawa, we stayed with Ola and her wonderful family. Ola is a political science student and is working to help bring to life a museum for the History of the Polish Jews, though she is not Jewish. We had many excellent conversations about Poland and America. Her parents were very sweet and supportive.
Ola´s mother is happily making us potato latkes:
We also stayed with Roman and Elizabeth, good friends of Libby´s uncle Denny. They own five coffee shops in Warszawa, of which we enjoyed only the main one, Cafe Adi, right across the street from a famous theatre.

In Krakow, we stayed a beautiful hostel, called DoDo Hostel, which unfortunately we have no photos of, but you can check their website.

We also had the joy to meet friends from Massolit Books, an english-language bookstore that Sam, a friend of Libby´s worked at, and overall a fabulous place:
Here´s Karen, the bookstore owner:
