| Beyond Warszaw, our travels in focused
mostly on urban areas where we could learn more about
history, including stops in Gdańsk, Katowice,
Częstochowa, Kraków, Auschwitz, and Nowa Huta. We
did not visit some of the more scenic areas of Poland
such as the the Tatra Mountains or see much of rural
areas except through the window of the train going
by. Marcin did take me out to the country once,
and I remember standing in a potato field. It is
important to recognize that Poland does have a
significant rural and agricultural population, about
14.8 million people or 38.7 percent in 1990 (>).
