We arrived at Boston’s Logan airport and checked in but then had trouble finding security and our gate. I remarked to Ms. Guiney that if we had trouble at Boston’s airport we were going to be doomed finding our way in Europe. I am happy to report that we have made it through our first day with only minor hiccups. For example, we stood at the baggage carousel waiting and waiting for our bags and then realized we were at the wrong baggage claim.
We arrived at our hotel which from the outside looks like it is something out of a candy store dripping in several bright colors (see picture). The staff at the hotel has been amazingly helpful and we are grateful they speak English. We rested for a bit while deciding what we would do for the next 2 days. We then made our way to a communist inspired restaurant called Under the Red Hog to enjoy some Polish food. When we opened the doors we were greeted by a hostess wearing a dress fashioned to look like a uniform worn by the Red Army. The menu was divided with choices of entrees based on whether you were a member of the bourgeoise or a proletariat. The pierrogies were particularly tasty. I look forward to trying more Polish treats over the next few days. Tomorrow should be jammed pack with activities, and we are both excited to learn more about this intriguing city.
