wadna pogoda
It seems like there are tonnes of workers out now trying to clean things up. From sweeping up the ragged side walks, raking up dog poop, to cleaning windows… and the warm weather has also brought out the men who like to have a few too many sips… I guess there are always pros and cons. Another thing we’ve noticed more of are people pushing around their make-shift wheel barrels, taking the days’ finds to the market to try to get a few zlotys.
On Sunday night we were walking home from a friends and we stumbled upon a memorial march for Pope John Paul II, who died one year ago. About 95% of Poland is catholic, and he was from Poland as well. So it was pretty huge. Here we were walking on the main street, which is quite narrow when a never-ending processional of people rounded a bend and started down towards us. So we made friends with a wall and waited out the massive crowd. It was pretty interesting to see so many people, all very somber and reflective, singing songs and carrying candles. I guess we were pretty lucky to see it all, being as we really have no idea of what’s going on in the world with no tv for news and not being able to understand the newspapers.
Ok, other than that, it was pretty much the same old, same old.
Till next time.

Chris,
Is that you in the top picture?? I hardly recognized you with your long hair up in a ponytail. Cool.
Glad you guys are doing well. Right now it is not "wadna pagoda" in Toronto. There is snow on the ground. Boo!
Take care,
Love Amy

Yep, I am trying to grow my hair long...but everyday I look at the scissors and think that it is so easy to have short hair. I had to buy a comb the other day...the first time in years!

Hey Sis & Bro-in-law.
You're feeling it too... that beautiful wadna pagoda. I've been enjoying some adventures with good blend of friends and bicycles. You two need to find yourselves some old Polski bicycles.
Oh, and maybe a canoe , cause when you get back to Winnipeg you'll need one.
Yup,
always good to hear about you two..
