A good Sunday.

Excellent day for a walk. After a nice conversation this morning with 2 people I just couldn't imagine spending the afternoon sitting at home studying or doing whatever. So, I asked Joan if she would like to go for a walk. My idea was to park by the Opera house and then walk the 8 blocks to the rynek, have coffee, see the people, talk and then return home before 17:00 so Joan could Skype with her daughter.

At 13:30 we arrived at the Opera House, parked the car and started walking toward the rynek. The weather was perfect, 21c sunny, blue sky with only a little wind.  We walked past the university where we took of first course of Polish for foreigners, stopped by the news stand where I took a picture of Joan, continued past the church under renovation, then the round building being renovated and up to Plac Wolno艣ci. From there it was down Paderewskiego street to the rynek to sit and have coffee.

It was a little chilly so the heaters in some of the cafes were turned on and you can see them behind Joan in one picture.  We stayed for an hour, took a walk around the rynek and noticed the old Dom Viking贸w restaurant was now Club Havana. We passed a little shop that had some uniquely painted furniture so I took a few more pictures.

It was a good day. Tonight we will watch the Michigan vs. Northwestern game thanks to YouTube.


Doskona艂y dzie艅 na spacer. Po mi艂ej rozmowie rano z dw贸jk膮 ludzi, po prostu nie mog艂em sobie wyobrazi膰, 偶eby popo艂udnie sp臋dzi膰, siedz膮c w domu, ucz膮c si臋 lub robi膮c cokolwiek. Wi臋c zapyta艂em Joan, czy chcia艂aby p贸j艣膰 na spacer. Chcia艂em zaparkowa膰 przy Operze, a nast臋pnie przej艣膰 pieszo do Rynku, wypi膰 kaw臋, popatrze膰 na ludzi, porozmawia膰, a potem wr贸ci膰 do domu przed 17:00 tak, by Joan mog艂a spotka膰 si臋 na Skype z c贸rk膮.

O godzinie 13:30 dotarli艣my do Opery, zaparkowa艂em samoch贸d i ruszyli艣my w stron臋 Rynku. Pogoda by艂a idealna, 21c, s艂onecznie, b艂臋kitne niebo, niewielki wiatr. Szli艣my obok uniwersytetu gdzie mieli艣my pierwszy kurs j臋zyka polskiego dla cudzoziemc贸w, zatrzymali艣my przy kiosku, gdzie zrobi艂em zdj臋cie Joan, min臋li艣my remontowany ko艣ci贸艂, a nast臋pnie Okr膮glak, kt贸ry jest odnawiany i dotarli艣my do Placu Wolno艣ci. Stamt膮d przeszli艣my ulic膮 Paderewskiego do Rynku, aby usi膮艣膰 i wypi膰 kaw臋.

By艂o troch臋 ch艂odno, wi臋c ogrzewacze w niekt贸rych kawiarniach by艂y w艂膮czone i mo偶ecie je zobaczy膰 za Joan na jednym ze zdj臋膰. Zatrzymali艣my si臋 na godzink臋, a potem obeszli艣my Rynek i zauwa偶y艂em, ze dawna restauracja Dom Viking贸w to teraz Klub Havana. Min臋li艣my ma艂y sklep z unikalnie pomalowanymi meblami, wi臋c zrobi艂em jeszcze kilka zdj臋膰.

To by艂 dobry dzie艅. Dzisiaj wieczorem b臋dziemy ogl膮da膰 mecz Michigan versus Northwestern na YouTube.
