IRD Study Trip: The Polish Leg

Because one cannot stay forever in Kaliningrad, we finished our study trip with a tour of northern Poland. The first stop was Frombork, the hometown of Copernicus.

Not much there aside from the cathedral but it was quite pretty. This is the view from atop the tower next to the cathedral.























Next stop on the Polish fun fest coach: Gdansk. Aside from being really fun to say, Gdansk is quite nice. Here is Kevin modeling his sweet Gdansk cap.

I have a bit of an obsession with former Soviet things so upon seeing a bust of Lenin modeling amber necklaces at an amber shop (they are just mad about amber in Gdansk) I had to have my picture taken with a silver Lenin sporting the latest in amber fashion.

















The last stop was Malbork, home of a very nice castle. Teutonic knights lived here back in the day.
