From Flaming Kabobs to Subzero Dancing

Well, it's summer here in Poland and that can only mean one thing: time for Anna's yearly visit! Fortunately, unlike last summer, I actually got to be present for more than two days of this visit.

We started out the evening at Kompania Piwna with flaming chicken kebobs and liter beers.

After consuming more liters of beer than I'm prepared to admit, we decided that we hadn't had quite enough and therefore decided to take a trip to the Ice Bar.

The Ice Bar is, appropriately enough, made entirely of ice. At least, the back room is made entirely of ice. The rest of the place is made of... I dunno. Cucumbers or something.

The cucumber walls aside, the Ice Bar was a pretty good time. I was a tad disappointed that the rumors I'd heard about an ice statue of Cupid turned out to be just rumors, but life is filled with disappointments. I guess I'll have to continue my search for a statue you can drink from¹.

The good news: they give you parkas to wear while you're in the ice room.

The bad news: they're kind of a "one size fits all, but not really" so Anna's dancing to keep warm was somewhat counter productive in that her parka kept falling off.
