MaMaison Le Regina, and Walking Through Warsaw

Warsaw has far exceeded my expectations and I love it when a new destination does that. Though destroyed by 85% during WWII it has been painstakingly rebuilt with amazing detail. The Hotel Le Regina MaMaison is set close to the heart of the old city and is a stunning place to stay. The one time US Embassy has been redone to perfection and is an oasis in a city that has so many layers and elements. It is my guess that one day soon Warsaw will take its place as a top destination in the “New Europe”. Yesterday we visited Old Town, the Ghetto section (heart breaking) and the Lazienki Park. The Park was beautiful and the old palaces and extensive gardens perfect for an afternoon stroll. The walk back through town during glow time was a great way to get an essence of this city. Especially after a fabulous meal at the Belvedere restaurant, its dishes fit for a king.
