Lori's Visit.


Joan and I went to PKP G艂owny(train station) at 3PM to await the arrival of Lori. On platform 2 where the train from Berlin was to arrive I stood at one end and Joan the other. The train arrived at 3:25PM on time and I waited to see a red luggage bag attached to the woman we were to meet. There she was, waiting with another person and I walked up to her, greeted her and then we walked to the other end to find Joan. I carried her bag to the car, we went to the hotel where she would be staying, she checked in and then we went to our house for coffee and a little applebread that Joan had made. After conversing until 7PM we went downtown to cousin Maciej's restaurant for dinner. As usual, dinner was excellent. I had spaghetti with seafood, Joan had ravioli and Lori tagliatoni. For desert they both had tiramisu but I was too full to eat desert so I just had coffee latte. We finished about 9PM and took Lori back to her hotel for a nights rest.

Friday morning we picked Lori up at 10AM and drove to Ostr贸w Tumski to show her the cathedral and the birthplace of Poland. After an hour our next stop was the rynek and it was a beautiful day for walking around and pointing out the places of interest. The church of St. Stanis艂aw was a treat for her because it is so beautiful inside. From there we went to Przemys艂 hill, where the royal castle once stood but only one building remains. Next to it was the Kings church, the Franciscan church so it was our next stop.

Next was a stop in Stary Browar so she could see one of best shopping centers in Pozna艅 and then at 3:30PM we all drove to Kandulski's for our weekly meeting with Zbyszek so Lori could meet him.

Back home at 6:30PM Joan made dinner of chicken with vegetables and cream Italian sauce and after coffee I took Lori back to her hotel for the night.
