Come With Us to Pay the Phone Bill

Stepping out our front gate we are in the midst of road construction. As you can see, the paving stones are laid down manually.
Walking down our street you can see that there is an eclectic mix of construction from old and new (see below) to quirky (see above).

This is the Wilanow post office where we pay our Polish bills.
Across the parking lot from the post office is this lovely church. Right after I took this picture, a funeral, led by the casket, emerged from the main doors. The kids were not happy with me!
Next to the church is this tomb for a Polish king. Kyle is standing in front.
Michael and Kyle are standing in front of Wilanow Palace which was the summer palace for Polish kings. The palace is next to the tomb and church. There are also several restaurants and shops selling amber and pottery. This area is a ten minute stroll from our house.
Behind the church.
Another neighborhood resident.
On the way home the kids wanted to play the trust game that requires them to walk with their eyes closed as they hold my arm (they don't trust each other enough to guide them safely!).

Thank you for the walk through the neighborhood. I loved the church picture. The architecture is beautiful.

Tell me...what hours is the Post Office open for paying bills?

Are they closed as much as the offices in Greece?

I liked the pictures of the area, that was a fun post. Not sure the significance of the chicken!
