Escaping the Heat

It's July. In Todi, that means hot weather. Without air conditioning (which, truthfully, is borderline okay because you sleep in the mid-afternoon with fans running, and go to the pool and take cold showers, but still). We had a mid-June heat wave, and although things are cooler now, I'm not sad to be able to say that a few of us have escaped.

That long preamble was just to say that Florence, Jeremy, and I are now in Poland. Warsaw, to be exact. Europe is a continent that is blessed with low airfares, meaning that travel is a very real possibility. Taking the 6 pm flight from Rome meant that we were at the apartment by 9. This is NOT a Polish dinner time, but we did find a restaurant recommended by a friend that would take us at that late hour. It was spectacular!

Cold beetroot soup, duck pierogis, mussels, veal shank, and more! We all had our fill (including sharing a delicious fresh raspberry tart) for about $50, and the waiter was very kind about the fact that we were keeping him late.

Time for bed so we can be ready for some intensive sightseeing tomorrow!

Love,

Alexandra
