So, Thursday Ashley came into town for our mid year Fulbright meeting. We spent Thursday night at Charlotte - the best French-ish cafe ever. I was starving by the time we got there, and we arrived late enough that tit seemed as if everyone had just sat down at their tables. We waited a good 25 minutes for an open space and then we had to relocate a couple times. Very frustrating. But totally worth it.
Friday was the meeting. It was short and not very exciting, but it was followed by a delicious, two-hour lunch at a nearby restaurant. Lunch was fairly delicious. It was really nice to see all the Fulbrighters again. Not everyone made it to the meeting, but some really interesting, fun characters did. Maybe it was just the joy of being surrounded by Americans again.
So, after lunch, Aniela, Ashley, and I went to the train station. I finally exchanged my Bulgarian Leva - I had over 100 zloty worth! Let this be a lesson to me. After the train station, we saw both the Christmas markets by the Palace of Science and Culture and the Christmas markets in Old Town. All the lights are up down Nowy Swiat and in Old Town, so it's super gorgeous. Unfortunately, between the three of us, no one remembered a camera. We got some mulled wine at the Christmas market and did a little shopping.
After that, we went to Saffron for some delicious Indian food near Plac Konstytucji. Of course, after our Indian food, we then decided that we needed to... RETURN TO CHARLOTTE. At this point, we were with Barry and Sarah, too. Billy joined us after a while. It was a really fun time and is definitely one of the best places in Warsaw. Or maybe the best place in Warsaw. Then again, any place where I am is a great place, right? ;)
