Long weekend.

Tomorrow starts the long weekend celebration of May 3rd, Constitution Day. We'll start the celebration at Kandulski's for our weekly meeting with Z. First, in the morning, we'll do our shopping and it should be crowded as stores are closed on Saturday. We should have done the shopping yesterday, I hate crowds.

It's a little strange to me that there is a bigger celebration of Constitution Day in Chicago than there is here. The parade there lasts 3-4 hours, with hundreds of Poles lining Columbus Avenue, floats, marching bands and everyone dressed in red and white. We went to the parade here in Pozna艅 last year, it lasted 20 minutes.

Jutro zaczyna si臋 d艂ugi weekend z okazji 3 maja 艢wi臋to Konstytucji. Zaczniemy uroczysto艣ci w Kandulski dla naszego tygodniowego spotkania z Z. Po pierwsze, rano, do艂o偶ymy wszelkich zakup贸w i nale偶y zat艂oczone jak sklepy s膮 zamkni臋te w soboty. Powinni艣my zrobi膰 zakupy wczoraj, nienawidz臋 t艂um贸w.

To troch臋 dla mnie dziwne, 偶e istnieje wi臋ksze 艣wi臋to 艢wi臋to Konstytucji w Chicago ni偶 u nas. Parada nie trwa 3-4 godzin, z setkami Polak贸w podszewka Columbus Avenue, p艂ywak贸w, maszeruj膮cych zespo艂贸w i wszyscy ubrani w czerwone i bia艂e. Poszli艣my do parady tutaj w Poznaniu w zesz艂ym roku, trwa艂 20 minut.
