Visiting Gdańsk

May is a month with many legal holidays.

Combining the first one, May 1st, with the last weekend in April, plus taking Monday off, I headed to Gdańsk in Poland. I was sold on Gdańsk because it’s home to the Fahrenheit Memorial. Naturally, it became my first stop, providing me a place in the […]

Photo Surprise

Guess what makes the photo below special.

These are in Poland.

Can’t guess?

Quite often it is the most frequently viewed photo in my Flickr stream-and I don’t think it’s especially good, but if you do a Yahoo! Image Search for “apartment”, it’s the 10th recommended photo, after the recent images.

However I need time to write up the trip and talk about everything I saw (it will probably be spread out across several days). I also need to upload my pictures to Flickr.

The picture attached to this entry was a lucky […]

Poland and More

Today I met four nice people who were visiting from Poland, and one of them suggested that I visit Poland–which considering how close it is to where I live, is entirely a reasonable suggestion. They’re from Gdansk which isn’t as easy to get to, but might be a better choice than some of the larger […]
