Day 143: Warsaw Old Town Hangs

Following a great night out, we consumed many perogis and ramen packs for breakfast to start our post-hangover healing. Christian and Lucas reached out and asked to meet us in Old Town.

Similar to other European Old Towns, the square looked like a perfect little Christmas market with colorful houses and cobblestone streets. We met in the garden and watched a parade of furries march down the street. Christian and Lucas were also nursing hangovers and didn’t really remember getting home or saying goodbye.

It started pouring rain so we ran to a craft brewery. Lucas was struggling with his single beer so he headed to the hostel for a nap. Christian continued walking with us through the Karolina Park gardens and Barbican Castle until it downpoured again! We ran into a beer garden and had some mulled wine/shot. Lucas re-emerged anew, met us at the beer garden, and we got a text from Jonas and Wilheim for a dinner meet up 😃

The original squad reformed and we enjoyed a lovely 3 hour dinner and more liters of beer. We learned that every person at the table actually worked in software, whether they were true developers, product managers, or technical leads; we all agreed to open an international business together should our jobs not work out 🤣 We closed out the restaurant and talked in the square a bit more before returning home.

The final agreement was to meet up in Belgium or Netherlands for another bar crawl the next weekend.
