Day 10-14: A Necessary Rest

May 26-30 -- Liam only had to work part of the day on Friday and for an hour on Saturday, and otherwise, the weekend was ours to enjoy together. This is the first weekend Liam has had off since he got here over a month ago, so needless to say, we spent much of it just resting. On Friday, we went down to the town center and enjoyed some great food, the best being the Chocolate Restaurant for dessert, which included a flight of hot chocolate, truffles, cappuccino, and at least five different types of chocolate mousse dishes. We were in a chocolate coma on our walk home that night.

On Saturday, we visited Fort VII, which was the first concentration camp established during WWII. It was a dark, eerie place with a horrific history, as can be imagined. It was sad to think that a place that was build to protect the Polish people of Poznan was used by the Nazis to destroy them.

After a dinner of pierogis, we went to a mall to see if it had a theater with English movies, and we were excited to be able to watch Guardian of the Galaxies 2 together in Poland in English.

On Sunday, we attended a small international church that meets in a hotel, and then after a restful afternoon, we went down to the town center again for dinner. We had heard that there was a jazz concert going on near the church downtown, so we went to check that out, but when we got there, we decided that we would rather save our two dollars for more chocolate at the Chocolate Restaurant than pay to go into the jazz concert...you can see that we definitely have our priorities right!

Throughout the weekend, I came down with a head cold, so on Monday and Tuesday, when Liam had to go back to work, I just hung out at the apartment resting in between bouts of coughing. I'm glad for this down time to recover from the cold before we hit the road again next week.
