Gdansk

From Sopot we drove not very far to Gdansk.  


We fell in love with Gdansk.  It is a really pretty town.


There is the old town with the largest brick cathedral in the world.  There are lots of lovely narrow cobblestoned streets filled with shops and restaurants.  The river runs right through the middle of the old town.


Gdansk is the hometown of Lech Walesa, leader of the solidarity movement and former President of Poland.  We drove along the road to freedom and saw the shipyards where it all began.  He still lives in Gdansk.
