A March Weekend in Warsaw


We had a busy weekend of church and work responsibilities...so Mark and I went out to eat on Friday night for our weekend date...

We originally wanted to go to a new restaurant not too far from our home, but we found out we needed a reservation...so we  walked a few blocks and went to "Cafe Zielnik". 
We had been here together once before with our re-locator last February and enjoyed it.  
The atmosphere was lovely, the food was great and we loved the time together. 

Mark said..."The women who come here must have great husbands and boyfriends"..... I asked "Why?"
"Because....this is a place that a woman would really enjoy!"
Mark loved his fish entree and I enjoyed my spinach and chicken crepes! 
I did enjoy this restaurant....and Mark did too.

Friday and Saturday gave us temps in the 50-60 F. range...fantastic pre-spring days! 
This was the first time this year that we did not have to wear jackets...happy day!


It was a perfect day for car washing!

We found a place to wash our car..but the line was so long...so we went to another place where someone would wash our little Skoda for us. 
The place was a recommendation from one of Mark's co-workers and we were happy to be able to find the place.
We learned  a new polish word... "Myjnia" ...so we new we had found the right location for car washing !
We drove through a large doorway, down a driveway....
it was dark and reminded Mark of going through an underground tunnel...
But...they actually do wash cars down here! Our little blue Skoda is in the farthest space in back ready to be cleaned for only the 2nd time.
Posted outside the doorway was a price list of the different types of car cleaning service you could choose from...
Mark is using my phone to translate the words in order to know what to tell the workers what we would like done.

Our car would be ready in 30 minutes...so we walked and rode the tram to a mall, where we shopped for groceries quickly before returning to pick up our very clean and shiny car!
 We were happy driving home our clean little Skoda...it actually looked brand new!

Mark and I were both asked to give talks at church on Sunday. Mark would be giving a talk in Warsaw and I would be traveling to Bydgoszcz (3-4 hours north of Warsaw) to give a talk in the branch (church unit) there with other church leaders. 
It was nice that we had two computers to work and prepare our talks for Sunday.
Mark is working on his talk here in our kitchen and I worked on my talk on our 3rd level. 

Though our weekend was busy and we were not always together...we enjoyed the time we did have 
whether eating out...cleaning our car...or just being outside for a few minutes!
