Sharing a taxi in Gdansk

Today we shared a taxi with a couple from Switzerland (to save on expensive taxi fares) and ended up spending the day touring Gdansk with them. Gdansk is a city full of history and local flare. From flower stands, to brick churches, to old buildings showing the remembrances of World War II, Gdansk offered us a peek into historic Europe. Most of our day was spent wandering around “Old Town” snapping pictures, enjoying lunch, and enjoying the warm sunshine on our faces. I didn’t think it would be almost 25 in Poland at this time of year, but I’m glad it was. Our friends Wem and ....hmmm, can’t remember, were great company and we enjoyed the day of touring with them. I guess Gdansk is the place to get amber if you’re looking for it, and it’s not hard to find, that’s for sure. As we weaved around school groups out on field trips and fellow tourists, we just soaked in the new and the old of Gdansk and thanked God for another day to enjoy!

Fortune telling birds! I’m not sure this little guy believes it!...Me either!
