Our day started in Wilanow, which is right outside of Warsaw.  There's a palace there that's really nice (and somehow wasn't destroyed during WWII like 90% of Warsaw).  The palace had great art inside but the people working inside were in every room and they were really mean.  It started with walking into the place (bad sign right there).  The woman at the coat check told me in Polish what I assume was "You can't wear your coat in there!"  I didn't really understand but I walked up to her and someone else said we couldn't wear our coats so I took it off and put it on the counter for her to check.  Well, she would not take it.  Other people kept walking up and she was taking everyone else's coat which was pissing me off because she's the one that told me I had to check it.  Then later, one of the other ladies got made at me for touching the lock on one of the old doors.  Geez!  I bet no one made it through that place without getting yelled at for something!

Next town was Kazimierz, a really small town, but pretty touristy (mainly people from Warsaw).  It's a really cute town though with a cute center and a couple churches and an old castle up on a hill.  We went into one of the churches, enjoyed a kebab and ice cream, walked through some shops, went to another church up on a hill (for the view), and then headed to the next city.
