DAY 6 — Wednesday, Apr 27, 2016
Trekked 17.4 km (11 mi) today to Rzeszow with a population of over 180,000. We had the benefit of a walking path set off from the highway nearly the whole time (see the pic). The city's vibrancy was visible at the suburbs with mega-malls and mega traffic--all good things. Then came a McDonald's--but only the second since starting my walk. That's not bad.
We had lunch on the low walls of a nearly forsaken Soviet cemetery with burials of Russian soldiers through the liberation in 1944. There's evidence like this here and there. Interestingly, Poland will not celebrate the 1st of May (brings back memories of the Soviet May Day); instead they celebrate the 3rd of May!
