Back in Sopot this week. Dinner with Mike last evening. Today, Torun by train. We had a great time; the weather was perfect. Mike even found Brave New World by Aldous Huxley in English–suggested reading for one of his classes.

The city of Toruń is located in north-central Poland and sits on the banks of the Vistula River. Once governed by the Teutonic Knights, the city is one of the oldest in Poland and has retained its historic core. Toruń became part of the Prussian and German Empires, when it was known as Thorn, from the late eighteenth century, until it was returned to Poland after the First World War. Toruń was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and retains many of its Gothic design buildings. And it is the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus and gingerbread.

Admiring the impressive Gothic architecture in Torun.
