After a brief shopping spree, which "the guide" finally alowed, "the tourists" are heading for the Old Town.

In front of the main gate to the Old Town.

View of the Lublin Castle from the Old Town Hill (Carmen and Kitri are trying to charm somebody?)

Widely known "House under the Clock" - State Police Headquarter before the war, Gestapo - during the war, then - of Soviet NKWD (KGB) and Polish Security Office (UB) under the communism regime. Place, unfortunately too well known to 
some of the Wajszczuks during and after the war. Uncle Zenobiusz was also a "guest" here after his return from England after the war.

Zamość 
The "nests" of the other main (Zamość) branch of the Wajszczuk Family are located in this area, in Sitaniec and in Wysokie. (http://www.wajszczuk.v.pl/gniazda/english/sitaniec.htm).
On the way to Zamosc, we visited the Concentration Camp at Majdanek (suburb of Lublin).
Returning to Lublin, we stopped in the town of Krasnystaw. Uncle Edmund (075) lived, worked in a hospital and died here. Just before arriving back in Lublin, we visited at a local cemetery the grave of Lilka's father - uncle Zenobiusz (096) - (http://www.wajszczuk.v.pl/spotkania/cmentarze_e.htm)
