At a little after 1500 Lock came back to work, and wandered around the Centrum for about 1/2 hrs. Took photos of a large statue of Adam Mickiewicz, a 19th century poet & intellectual hero of Pogan. Also photographed a new monument erected late in 1980 honoring the 1956 uprising against the Soviets - from the other year. The inscription reads: Ze wolnosc', prawo i chleb (To Liberty, Honesty, and Bread), Gzerniec (June) 1956 g. At 1830 Lock came to the Hotel & we took a taxi to his flat - NW side of city.
