This morning, we went for a walk north of our apartment, along the Vistula River. We brought a picnic along with us to eat in a park. There is a large former military fortress called the Warsaw Citadel which was built in the 19th century during the imperial Russian occupation of the city. It is now mostly left in various states of disrepair, although there are efforts underway to renovate the fortress and reopen it for visitors as a museum. Unfortunately this means that it is mostly closed, but we were still able to walk around the perimeter to see the walls.

On our way home from the citadel, it started thunderstorming, so we stayed inside for the rest of the afternoon. When the weather cleared up, we went out for dinner to a well known chain of pierogi restaurants called Zapiecek where we had delicious pan-fried pierogi and naleśniki (polish crêpes). Delicious!
