Art and the Park

On Saturday we pushed Audrey's pram down to nearby Krolikarnia a gallery near to our apartment, where there were a couple of exhibitions - one of paintings and another of lithographs.

We enjoyed the pictures although Audrey fell asleep in Amy's arms after about 2 seconds preferring the art of 'Diddy the Dinosaur' to that of the Polish artists on view.

Sunday was spent taking a trip to Pole Mokotowskie park. The park is near the centre of Warsaw, and has been amongst other things an airfield and a horse racing track. Now though it's a lovely public park with a couple of lakes, a big playground, and bars and cafes in its grounds.

We visited pub Lolek - a pub that celebrates the finding of an ice age mammoth bone near the spot. Audrey met the pub cat and enjoyed looking wonderingly at the throngs of families with children and/or dogs who joined us there. Meanwhile we enjoyed a couple of glasses of piwo grzane (hot beer with cloves and cinnamon and sweetened with honey - yum!) the perfect accompaniment to a chilly day in January.
