Touring Warsaw

While Clarence was at the leadership meeting, I toured Warsaw with sister Tarasevich, whose husband was at the meeting also.  They are another senior couple serving in Poland.

I have told you about this building before.  I call it the Stalin building.  Stalin offered the Polish people money to either build this building or improve their transportation.  People voted for transportation improvements, but Stalin had this building built.  It is now called The Palace of Culture and Science.  Inside they have a movie theatre, concert hall etc.  Also some offices.  We can't tour the inside, but can take an elevator to the 30th floor and see this huge city. 

Outside there are many statues to portray arts and science.

Here are some pictures of what Warsaw looks like from "Stalin Tower".  It was sort of like being in the Empire State Building.

This is the soccer stadium that is being built for 2012 international soccer tournament to be held in Poland.

I thought it was kind of neat how they had planted flowers  in and around the traffic circle.  Poland is a country of well-kept parks and beautiful flowers
