Poland 2010

The fences in Poland are made out of cement and in lacy designs in about 8 foot sections. At least they will not rot.
Drivers: they should be in the Indy 500, they leave no space in front of the car, pass on very long line of cars ahead of them, so, oncoming cars move onto the shoulder. How about that? At least it is a consistent system.
Most people drink juice instead of water, let us not forget the vodka.
A salad I had at a little picnic with Zaba: tomatoes, oil, sugar, oregano, kifir. It was fantastic.
Lots of storks at weddings, must have something to do with babies.
I have put my bottom on the same spot as the Catholic Pope John Paul II. I was on a ferry boat in the NE, going to glide down and up a river, passing thru some locks in Augustow. I was wondering why the prime seat in front on the left was not being sat in. So, I did. then I saw the framed photo of the pope sitting there, it was a revered place. Not for me, I had a good seat then.
These canals between Russia and Poland was the way to trade to the sea over these land water ways, the Polish locks are red brick and sandstone, the colors of the flag. Clever.
