Awesome Weekend

I came back late on Monday from the greatest weekend in Poland so far. First of all, my mom and little brother came here last Thursday, and Friday was just a break for them. On Saturday, we went to Sopot, a city in the middle of Gdansk and Gdynia. These three cities are the Poland tri-city, with about 800,000 inhabitants. We visited our friends, that my parents met in college, and one of them is my godmother. I had a great time, especially on Sunday, when we went to the beach, where we bungee jumped, slid on one of those huge inflatable slides (And it broke down while we were on it), and simply walked down the beach. On our way back from the beach, I had some of the best soft serve ice cream ever. Monday was the day we left Sopot. On our way back to Bydgoszcz, we stopped by Gdansk, the most populated, popular, and famous port city in Poland, and the most populated tri-city city. While we were walking through the streets and the famous new waterfront, we also stopped by a restaurant to have some drinks. My little brother had to go to the bathroom. Guess what. You have to pay $1, and you have to be a guest who purchased something at the restaurant. So we went it to the waiting room. There was a line of people getting ready to pay to go to the bathroom. It turned out the person in the bathroom had been sitting there already for 15 minutes talking on the phone. We left. Next door, there was a free bathroom, and we used it. What an adventure. Before leaving to Bydgoszcz, we just went to Gdansk's oldest and Poland's largest gothic cathedral, and it was HUGE!!! Me and my dad decided to walk to the top of the church for an extra fee. It was a long, dangerous, and very adventurous walk. The rooms we walked through were incredible, and the view from the observation deck was amazing. We could see all of Gdansk, and a little bit of Sopot. After returning home, late on Monday, we just slept, and Tuesday was just a day where we visited downtown Bydgoszcz again, and also watched a very funny and cool German comedian/magician, and watched an interesting music festival with people from other countries. We also visited an old church, and a monument to the founder of Bydgoszcz. Now today on Wednesday, we are just taking a break, and getting ready for the adventures to come.

P.S. No pictures at the moment because we are in a mess with the pictures and are trying to get them organized. I'll try to get the pictures on before the end of the week, and I'll get more pictures on http://picasaweb.google.com/GuitarGodAdamp as well.
