Hitting the Streets

All of these pictures are buildings we walk by when we head down to the Old Market Square. It's about a 25min walk and we took the kids down there last Sunday. I was taking quick, not so good at times, snapshots along the way. Above is some graffiti we've passed several times and I've never noticed it was a ghost until I looked at this photo!

A random lady out walking her dog. This walk was on Sunday morning so there really wasn't too much vehicle or pedestrian traffic due to most people being in church at this time. We're considering joining the International Church ( www.international.pl ) with their services being at 10am. The kids are now solid with their schedule of one nap a day, so this time would work out for us. Now it's just a matter of doing it.

Church of the Holy Savior
Built in 1868 and the tower is 70 meters tall. The Neo-Gothic interiors have a star shaped ceilings, impressive stained glass windows, and a 47 pipe organ from 1913.

A kiosk to purchase public transportation tickets, magazines, water etc.

Collegium Maius Building

(The administration buildingn for the Academy of Medicine)

It was built between 1905-08.

The Stanislaw Moniuszko Grand Theatre (Opera)

It was built in less than two years and has been open since 1910. Since 1919 it has been the house for the Polish Opera Theatre.

This is Mickiewicz Park.
This park is looking across the street for the Opera Theatre House. In the winter you'll find an ice-skating rink here and during the summer months there is large fountain going off in the middle of the concrete slab that you see here.

We pass this awful wall that encloses a parking lot. Here is where you'll find all sorts of advertising pasted to the wall.

This is Pub Agawa (remember the letter "w" sounds like "v")

This is where Karrie and I started our little bar hop on the way to our girls night out last Thur.
