Dear friends,
my trip to Poland was honestly an unforgettable experience,
that you only live once in a lifetime!

A walking path...
By the lake...
A flower garden, at the hotel
Cooking class
The making of traditional Polish "pierogi"
(dumplings with mushroom/ lamb/ pork.)
At the museum of Easter painted eggs, in Lipsk.
Local ladies in their traditional clothes,
explained to us that eggs come in various sizes
and each egg carries a unique design.
Eggs are first cleaned from the inside
(the yolk is removed through a small hole
& then, they are washed with soap and water)
Afterwards, flower designs are made on the eggs
with a special tool,
which is dipped in wax.
Polish traditional wedding cake, made with holy water & prayer!
On the top, the cake is decorated
with small birds,
which symbolize the young bride.
At the traditional food festival, in Kurianka...
Local ladies getting ready to sing traditional songs
"Sekacz" traditional cake is being cooked, around the fire.
It took 30 eggs and 1½hours of cooking!
The food experience was rich!
I tasted a traditional dish, which involved boiled potatoes
stuffed with pork minced meat.
I also had some beetroot soup, which was like drinking punch!
Around the picnic fire, we got to cook sausages
& dance!
