Famous Americans in Paris

Jim Morrison, Jason Bourne & John McDonough in Paris





While I did not see Jim or Jason, I did see their homes, where Marie parked the car and Wombosi's mansion.
First I went to see where Jim Morrison died, top picture.
Then photos from the shooting locations of the Bourne Identity

At Home In Normandy

I spent a relaxing three days at home in Normandy, Saint Maurice , Bangoles, Domfront and other towns nearby.
I had some good meals, checked on the house got some firewood and had wonderful warm fires in the fireplace,

Bad Warsaw Restaurant Service

Bad Warsaw Restaurant Service
I do have to say that the Warsaw restaurant crowd really needs some service lessons.
I held off from complaining, I know many of you say Not You, but its been consistent at all restaurants.
The Hilton has had consistently great service, even though its out off the way.
I am off to Paris and Normdandy in a few hours.

Jewish Ghetto Wall




Jewish Ghetto Photos
I was lucky to find a little of what remains of the Jewish Ghetto walls near my hotel.
The wall and the pictures are a reminder of the terror the Warsaw and Polish people suffered through at the hands of the Nazi's

Warsaw City Tour






Today I took a pretty decent City Tour of Warsaw.
Arranged by the Warsaw Hilton it was good but expensive in a city where most things are cheap.
I made some new friends on the tour a man from Cyprus and Joe from Hobken New Jersey, he works for Bloomberg.t
I have attached some photos and a couple of the a the Jewish Ghetto wall, the wall was not on tour but a block away from my Hotel, pretty moving,,,
I have included some pic from the city tour and the Ghetto wall
And a video of the tour guide

Warsaw Tuesday Afternoon



So I went to the big old Russian built tower in the Centrum.
I got caught behind a class of 2nd graders
But then I was told how to get ahead of the line.
Great view of the dank, coal fired Warsaw skyline ,,,it looks like nighttime at 2:30 PM!

No sun the whole trip

Dinner at the Mexican later on, more bad service. Maybe its cultural misunderstanding on my part.

Food was OK, Magerita was excellent.
City tour on Wednesday

Day 2 In Warsaw







Today I went to the Pib Loleck in some park in Warsaw
I was the only person eating lunch at 1:30
And taking a taxi there and back doubled the cost
But the beer was good and the service poor.
Food was good too!

Dinner update next

First Day In Warsaw






First Day In Warsaw
Be sure to check out my new photos of my first day in Poland.
It was warmer than Boston and I finally got my luggage last night.
People are friendly and many speak good English.
I slept late today and went to the gym, I am off too lunch soon and enjoy the photos and video
