lotem ptaka po polsce

It's the title of an old book of Polish songs and stories from my first encounter with the Polish language almost 50 years ago. Today, I had a "birds eye view of Poland" with a cousin, Barbara Burek. I walked for 12 hours, beginning with a walking tour of the Old City, then to the Jewish Quarter where i piloted myself to our meeting place, then, wonders: magnificent cathedrals, crazy public spaces, wonderful food and a final chamber music concert in an 11th century church. Rare, fun, utterly fulfilling.
