Augustow, Poland - Not on the tourist routes

Much of Warsaw looked beat up to me. Some building were still riddled with bullets on the outside. Repairs are very costly but Poland is growing and building anew, fixing and repairing. Right across the street from the Marriott is a gigantic mall, the likes of which I have never seen before. Every Salt Lake City mall store was there plus all kinds of European stores. To get there, I climbed downstairs into underground tunnels which were lined with tiny stores.

Fenced holy sights in Ewy, Poland (close to Lithuania border). This is one of the small villages where my ancestors lived. I did not know that most of Poland is farm land and considered the bread basket of Europe.
