Day 6: Sixth Day in Warsaw

Today will be a quick post because we're busy packing for our train trip to Gdańsk tonight! This morning we toured Chopin's birth place and his family home in Żelazowa Wola, a small village about 60km west of Warsaw. The weather was nice and speakers placed throughout the park played Chopin's music.

Later we toured the Copernicus Science Centre which opened its doors in 2010. The museum's focus is on interactivity and individual experimentation, a far cry from glass cabinet and gallery museums whose prevalence cannot be understated. Needless to say it was fun! Below is Isabel and a robot (controlled by children out of the shot).

Foucault's pendulum which demonstrates the rotation of the Earth.

A random robot we found that could make poems from given words. Kuba was a little skeptical.

Now we're eating dinner and packing for our trip to Gdańsk! We most likely won't be updating our blog tomorrow since we'll be on the train back to Warsaw, but subscribe to the blog to get the latest updates and stay tuned for more pictures :).
