This will be a short post as I have done a lot of traveling today.

As the title should indicate, I am visiting Poland on this trip. After, around, 18 hours of travel; I believe I’m the first person in my family to go to Poland in 40-60 years. My great grandfather having come from Poland, with his brothers, in the early 1900’s. We know he visited in the 1960’s but I don’t know for certain if anyone has been back since that time.

So, here I am. Where, at least part of, my family is originally from. A place, I’ve read, is a lesser known jewel of Europe.

I’m starting in the city of Gdańsk. A port city in the north, Gdańsk is a popular tourist destination and with only a short time here, I can see why. The Old City was rebuilt after WWII and what I’ve seen, on the way to find dinner, is stunning!

I did, eventually, find dinner at a restaurant called Bonzur. For my first meal in Poland, I did go with pierogi but not like any I’ve ever had before. Tonight’s dinner was wild boar pierogi with a Moscow Mule mocktail.

Simple and delicious, also soooo much better than anything I’d had on the travel to Poland.

I should have a fair number more pictures tomorrow, after I get some much needed rest.
