Winter Park.



Last night we were invited to some friends for dinner near So艂acki Park. It was in one of the older homes in that area with three floors, beautiful parquet floors, antique furniture and a nice garden behind the house.
Inside in the dining room we were served salmon with tomotoes covered in mozzerella cheese and a salad. The china was nice, passed down through the generations and there were 6 of us all together. After dinner we went into another room for coffee and pastries and to sample a cherry liqueur made by the husband of the house. Before the liqueur we were served cognac, then a vodka made with eggs. It was the first time I had tasted that kind of vodka. After having more than one glass of the liqueur it was decided that I would not drive back home and we called a taxi to take us the 6 km back home. Cost was 15zl ($5).

In the morning, with the wind blowing, cold temperature and snowing, I was in the apartment until I saw bus #64 pulling up across the street, then went out and got on it. This bus stops within 3 blocks of where my car was so after exiting the bus I walked to the car. It was only 1/2 block from So艂acki park and it was so beautiful outside I decided to take a walk to the park and take some pictures. There was no one in the park except for a man with his small child. The park was beautiful, quiet, peaceful and serene. I took these pictures and the ones in the slideshow, walked back to the car and drove home to write this blog.

Ostatnia noc zostali艣my zaproszeni do przyjaci贸艂 na kolacj臋 w pobli偶u Park So艂acki. To by艂o w jednym ze starych dom贸w na tym obszarze z trzech pi臋trach, pi臋kne parkiety, antyczne meble i 艂adny ogr贸d z ty艂u domu.
Wewn膮trz w jadalni by艂y podawane z 艂ososia z tomotoes obj臋te mozzerella ser i sa艂atki. Chiny was nice, przekazywane z pokolenia na pokolenie i nie by艂o 6 z nas wszystkich razem. Po kolacji poszli艣my do innego pokoju na kaw臋 i ciasto oraz pr贸bki likier wi艣niowy przez m臋偶a z domu. Przed likier Podano nam koniak, potem w贸dka z jajek. To by艂 pierwszy raz skosztowa艂 tego rodzaju w贸dki. Po wi臋cej ni偶 jeden kieliszek likieru zdecydowano, 偶e nie b臋d臋 wraca膰 do domu i wezwali艣my taks贸wk臋, 偶eby nas z powrotem do domu 6 km. Koszt by艂 15zl (5 dolar贸w).

Rano, z wiatru, temperatury i 艣nieg zimno, by艂em w mieszkaniu, dop贸ki nie zobaczy艂em autobus # 64 ci膮gn膮cy si臋 po drugiej stronie ulicy, po czym wyszed艂, ale na jej temat. Ten autobus zatrzymuje si臋 w 3 bloki, gdzie m贸j samoch贸d by艂 tak po wyj艣ciu z autobusu i szed艂 do samochodu. Dopiero 1 / 2 blok z park So艂acki i by艂 tak pi臋kny, poza postanowi艂em wybra膰 si臋 na spacer do parku i troch臋 zdj臋膰. Nie by艂o nikogo, w parku, z wyj膮tkiem cz艂owieka ze swoim ma艂ym dzieckiem. W parku by艂a pi臋kna, cicha, spokojna i pogodna. Wzi膮艂em te zdj臋cia i te, w pokazie slajd贸w, wr贸ci艂 do samochodu i pojechali艣my do domu pisa膰 tego bloga.
