Lviv and Warsaw (2/2)

I took a super-quick trip to Lviv one weekend while my dad was there.

Entry to my distant relatives' flat.  The stairs were plain and a bit grotty, and dark.
My dad, and my <a href="http://www.genealogy.com/16_cousn.html">fourth cousin, once removed</a>.  I don't know how it happened, but I didn't get many photos fo the people.  I feel kinda bad about that.
One of the many markets.  They were fairly unaggressive, except the ones selling flowers: "Look at the beautiful flowers, aren't they pretty?" (in Ukrainian, of course; very little English about.
A tram.  We never road one, but the tram tracks were generally in fairly good shape.
Some building. :-)
City hall, I think.
Lamp post (increasing numbers of which actually have working bulbs, I'm told)
Statues of Neptune in front of City Hall.
Colourful (if somewhat unsaturated) houses
The top right one has a hammer and sickle
This (and previous) was in a museum.  Note the flooring..had to wear little booties over our shoes.

Not sure what river this was; perhaps <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula">Vistula</a>?
Snack.  Pealed the salami off the bun; I seem to be forgetting to order vegetarian lately.

This photo was an accident, but it turned out the kid was (apparently) Canadian.
