DAY 65 - AUG 14 - SENJY to ALYTUS
Today I entered Lithuania from Poland. There was a sign indicating as much. I'm getting far behind in writing this blog and am having trouble remembering what I did each day. After looking at the photos I am very sure that what I did was bike all day.
There was a very nice horse family and the bucolic nature of the countryside continues.

EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 63
DAY 63 - AUG 12 - LOMZA to BARSZCZE
Still in Poland and today I saw more farms, forests, cows, water, cows in water, calves, and a church. A few cows had pipe-like contraptions around their necks. Probably used when they are in pens. Yikes!

EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 61
DAY 61 - AUG 10 - MOKOTOW to WYSZKOW
I approached Warsaw from the south. Like I said before the suburbs seem to go on forever, but Warsaw itself; Oh my! Unfortunately it was a cloudy day as I zeroed in on the old part of town. I knew a little about the WWII destruction and didn't know what to expect. The city is fabulous! I zipped around taking pictures among the hordes of tourists. Read the placard for a tidbit of history.
The city has the most bicycle friendly infrastructure I have seen, maybe on a par with Copenhagen. I continued north through the countryside.

EUROPE - 2019 - DAY 60
DAY 60 - AUG 9 - DRZEWICA to MOKOTOW
Another flat day rolling through the Polish farmlands and a few little forests. Instead of cabbage, this area seemed to have an abundance of apple groves. That one giant church was in the tiniest town and I didn't make note of the name. I got to a very nice suburb of Warsaw called Mokotow and the burbs seemed to go on for miles.

EUROPE - 2019 - DAYS 58,59
DAYS 58,59 - AUG 7,8 - WLOSZCZOWA to DRZEWICA
Another day of backroads in Poland to the village of Drzewica. I was ready for a rest and I booked a room for two nights.
The first picture is what all segregated bike trails should look like. A little wishful thinking. Drzewica does have a castle, a little weary, but still a castle although not open to the public. More info;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drzewica_Castle
I was a little surprised that my room had a balcony with a view of a nice flower bed and the church. There was some hoopla from the church involving singing and parading around town. I never found out what it was about.
The last picture of the fellow tourist sitting in the park is Cees from Amsterdam. He is heading for the Ukraine, I think. He is very knowledgeable and gave me some great tips on my travel itinerary. We will stay in touch.
