Here are some random snaps from my first full day in Warsaw. I strolled around the old city on a Saturday afternoon, a place jumping with tourists, and brides and grooms having their wedding photos taken, a local tradition. I came across a military ceremony that was honoring they fallen at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the most important monument of its kind in the country. Poland suffered the most deaths per capita than any other country during WWII.
