Oct 6-12: Wroclaw Poland
I think this was one of the most surprising trips we had this year. I don’t think any of us had an idea of what to expect from Poland and boy, were we pleasantly surprised! Wroclaw has an interesting history - it has been passed between many different countries and republics throughout history and that really comes through in the architecture and culture.
To explain how we wound up here: we were at the Cutting Ball gala with Rob and Joan and the co-founder of CBT, Paige, had put up a week in their flat in Wroclaw as one of the silent auction items. You got pretty excited about that and, after a few glasses of champagne, decided to make a bid. And here we are.
Fortunately, Rob and Joan were able to join us on this adventure! There was really just too much to list this trip day by day so here are the highlights:
On our very first day we discovered a donut shop near the apartment that was serving fresh, hot donuts and I’ve never tasted anything so good in my life.
Thanks to Joan’s reading of some random blog, we found Brower Stu Mostow, an excellent brewery with a fun vibe and delicious sours.
We walked up some crazy dark stairway to reach the walkway outside of St. Mary Magdalene Church which afforded some really beautiful views.
The panorama museum. It’s too weird not to experience for yourself.
On Ewa’s recommendation, we had dinner at Mloda Polska on our last night. The food was great, but the real highlight was the vodka tasting we finished up with. I had no idea Seaberry even existed.
So many gnomes.
