We found ourselves in Warsaw airport
with recycling bins
and a blurry sign in English
with a clearer one in Polish though the agent would tell us there was a delay but wouldn't tell us why or when
though we eventually made it onto the plane
and got our edible bar
before getting to the other side and watching our baggage roll down the conveyor
so that we could catch the taxi to our hotel and pass this large hotel
before we arrived
and found our way to the room where the beds were typical
but the room was vase and the walls were covered with artwork
and the bathroom looked good (and more so in the morning when we realized how wonderful the shower was).
We walked out to the horoscope restaurant down the street
and ordered beer some of which was served with a straw because of the added raspberry juice
and noted the beer coasters
as a pate came to welcome us
and was illuminated
before Suzanne's potato pancakes
and my pierogies arrived
accompanied by this spinach dish for Suzanne.
The waitress talked us into this dessert where the bird's nest was actually narrow strands of caramel
and then the bill came
and I took a picture of the waitress with Suzanne before
we took the obligatory phone booth photo and called it a night.
