Yesterday (and today actually) it's been raining all day. While Warsaw is beautiful in sunlight, personally, I prefer it in the rain - or at least a good overcast. It's not hot, the car fumes have been washed out out of the air, and there are plenty of cafes to step into for a warming cup of tea and biscuits.
One of the places was this giant bookstore built in a pre-war "kamienica," or tenement. I bought three modern Polish books. Previously relying on libraries or friends to supply me with reading materials I had no idea how expensive books are! No wonder all these literary types are always poor!
Another place encountered along the way was this small cafe called Zakątek. Apparently Krakow has many such places built into the cellars. This particular place was filled to the brim with cigarette smoke. I guess people didn't feel like smoking outside in the rain.
Walking back I couldn't help myself from taking another shot of the the Palace of Culture - it looked really neat in the almost sunset.
