WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Breakfast was at 8 for Joan and I, in different places, and I got to the rehab center at 8:30. It was just in time to start her two, half hour therapy sessions. When she was done I told the nurse I was taking her out for the whole day with permission from the doctor.
Our destination was 1 1/2 hours away, according to GogleMaps but GPS had a different idea, mainly because of the construction for the road connecting Pozna艅 to Wroc艂aw. It actually took a little over two hours to get there but worth the trip.
Known as a baroque pearl, it is often called by foreigners Polish Eskurial remains one of the most underrated monuments, although it is firmly rooted in Polish history and tradition. It's an impressive diamond of Lower Silesia and has a colorful history. In the 20th century it was a subject of interest to the Nazis and the Red Army of Russia devastated it. It was turned into a psychiatric hospital and was visited by Hitler and Michael Jackson.
The monastery consists of a Basilica built on the ruins of a 12th century Roman church. There is an palace for the Abbot, The church of St. James and out buildings. It if was in Warsaw and properly restored, it could easily compete with the Royal Castle. The history of this place begins in 1150 with the Benedictine monks. Unfortunately, 650 years later, Prussia took power, removed the monks and 500 valuable paintings along with sculptures and musical instruments. By 1950 it had no owner and the state was not interested in it. In 1989 a Foundation Lubiaz was established. It relies only on itself to save this great piece of Polish history and we were happy to pay the entrance fee.
When we were done, it was almost time for dinner and since we were kind of close to Wroc艂aw we went there to eat and then back to the center for Joan to rest. She had a great day! Tiring....but great. Tomorrow we go home for the day. Oh, and there was a little car show in the rynek in Wroc艂aw. Check the slideshow.
艢niadanie by艂o o 8 do Joan i ja, w r贸偶nych miejscach, i mam do centrum odwykowego o 8:30. To w艂a艣nie w czasie, aby rozpocz膮膰 jej dwa, p贸艂 godzinne sesje terapeutyczne. Kiedy sko艅czy艂a Powiedzia艂am piel臋gniarce Bra艂em j膮 przez ca艂y dzie艅 za zgod膮 lekarza.
Nasz cel by艂 1 1/2 godziny jazdy, zgodnie z GogleMaps ale GPS mia艂 inny pomys艂, g艂贸wnie ze wzgl臋du na budow臋 na drodze 艂膮cz膮cej Pozna艅 z Wroc艂awiem. To rzeczywi艣cie mia艂a niewiele ponad dwie godziny tam, ale warte podr贸偶y dosta膰.
Znany jako per艂a baroku, jest cz臋sto nazywany przez cudzoziemc贸w polskiego Eskurial pozostaje jednym z najbardziej niedocenianych zabytk贸w, chocia偶 jest mocno zakorzenione w polskiej historii i tradycji. To imponuj膮cy diament Dolnego 艢l膮ska i ma barwn膮 histori臋. W 20 wieku by艂o przedmiotem zainteresowania nazist贸w i Armii Czerwonej Rosji zdewastowali go. Zosta艂 on przekszta艂cony w szpitalu psychiatrycznym i odwiedzi艂 Hitlera i Michaela Jacksona.
Klasztor sk艂ada si臋 z bazyliki zbudowanej na ruinach rzymskiego ko艣cio艂a 12 wieku. Jest pa艂ac dla Abbot, Ko艣ci贸艂 艣w Jakuba i spo艣r贸d budynk贸w. To, czy by艂 w Warszawie i prawid艂owo przywr贸cona, to mo偶e z 艂atwo艣ci膮 konkurowa膰 z Zamkiem Kr贸lewskim. Historia tego miejsca zaczyna si臋 w 1150 roku z benedyktyn贸w. Niestety, 650 lat p贸藕niej, Prusy przej膮艂 w艂adz臋, usun膮膰 mnich贸w i 500 cennych obraz贸w wraz z rze藕bami i instrument贸w muzycznych. Przez 1950 nie mia艂 w艂a艣ciciela, a pa艅stwo nie by艂 nim zainteresowany. W 1989 roku Fundacja Lubi膮偶 powsta艂a. To zale偶y tylko od siebie, aby zapisa膰 ten wielki kawa艂ek polskiej historii i byli艣my szcz臋艣liwi, mog膮c zap艂aci膰 za wst臋p.
Gdy sko艅czyli艣my, to by艂 ju偶 czas na obiad, a poniewa偶 byli艣my niby blisko Wroc艂awia pojechali艣my tam do jedzenia, a nast臋pnie z powrotem do centrum Joan odpocz膮膰. Mia艂a wielki dzie艅! M臋cz膮ce .... ale 艣wietne. Jutro idziemy do domu na ca艂y dzie艅. Aha, i by艂o troch臋 pokaz samochod贸w na Rynku we Wroc艂awiu. Sprawd藕 pokaz slajd贸w.
