Well we made it safe and sound to Poland. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to cash out on the plane and catch a couple of hours of sleep, but Bryan and John not so much. We arrived in Warsaw around 12:00pm and were picked up by Jacek. We were taken to a quaint Jazz cafe to grab a drink and to meet his daughter and her husband who will be our trip coordinators when we return to Warsaw in three weeks. 
From there we made the 2 hour drive to Lublin, a city of around 300,000 people that increases to approximately 380,000 with all the university students. We ate a very authentically Polish restaurant for dinner called Chata. We were served bread with pigs fat to start, sour soup (a national favorite, it's a creamy white soup with sausage, spices and an egg served in a bread bowl, it was very delicious), and for me fried potato cakes for my main course.
I don't have too much to report today other than we are quite exhausted and ready for a good night's rest. Tomorrow we will tour more of Lublin.
