Yesterday, our CIEE group had a meeting about our trip next weekend to Gdańsk (also with stops in the other two of the "Three Cities": Gdynia and Sopot). We leave Friday morning (not early!) for a train ride that is about five-and-a-half hours. We are staying at a hostel (Dom Muzyka: http://www.dom-muzyka.pl/) and will go out to dinner on Friday to a place that serves local (Kashubian) cuisine (Velevetka: http://www.velevetka.pl/). On Saturday we have breakfast at the hostel (which is apparently well-reviewed by previous students) before going on a day of tours: Gdańsk's Old Town and the Museum of Solidarity. We have some of the afternoon off before dinner in the evening at Kresowa (which is more international cuisine to represent all of the different kinds of people who came to the city because of its commercial importance). On Sunday, another breakfast before touring Sopot (one main attraction for us Americans seems to be this: http://2bored4fun.blogspot.com/2009/05/crooked-house-in-sopot-poland.html) and Gdynia. We have lunch in Sopot before going on a train in the afternoon back to Warsaw.

You Are A Tourist / Danzig
Today is cloudy, cool, and may rain later. I only have one class later in the afternoon. Before that, I have to pick up some items from the CIEE office. After class, it is the weekend. :) Plans include, a day-trip to Łódź tomorrow and going to see some parks (if the weather allows, of course) on Saturday and Sunday, before I go to a classical music performance on Sunday evening (which is the anniversary of the Smoleńsk plane crash, so our group was warned about demonstrations and other activity going on that day, especially near the Presidential Palace).
