I was feeling a little green last week in Warsaw, so while my traveling buddies walked around Old Town, I sat down and watched life go by. Sitting next to me was this troop of scouts. They were in Warsaw to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland. We also saw a commemoration ceremony at the Presidential palace which involved about 50 ambassadors and a color guard of Polish troops. Really interesting.

I don’t know if they would use the word “celebrate,” but none of the things we saw looked very somber. We didn’t understand it quite either. I have become familiar with feeling clueless about the life going on around me since moving to Europe.
