Visit to the Old town and the Warsaw University

So this weekend Mary's sister came to visit Warsaw, and we took a long walk across the main places in the city. Of course Poland has been involved in wars and Warsaw has many historic places, but the most amazing thing is how they reconstructed everything! with such details that you can't even imagine that the buildings are not the original one.



If you read or you talk to anyone here about this place, they are going to tell you the same thing, 95% of Warsaw was destroyed during the war, and of course they are not lying:


After taking a walk around the old town and the Royal Palace, we went to the University of Warsaw and since Mariana and I studied in the UNEXPO Barquisimeto, of course this beautiful places brought some memories about our university.


Actually all these buildings were palaces and the university was found in 1816 according to Asia's info :P

If you see this picture, the translation says that Chopin live there.


It is not that big, but it's a really nice place to visit. I sent my first post card ever in this place, of course to my family in Venezuela, so maybe they will get it in December approximately :P
