It's been soo long since I put a post on my blog! You know I was on a 2 week holiday in Poland and before that, my Polish friend, Ania came to visit me for a week and we left for Poland together. Of course, I'm not going to lie to you-I had wonderful time! Let's look at some pics, I'll be glad to comment on them for you.
Let's start with Ania's stay in Sicily. Unfortunately I couldn't dedicate much time to her, I was at work until 4.00pm everyday so I tried to organize her days the best I could to make her feel comfortable and to let her visit as much as she could during this short holiday.
During weekend, though, we found time to go to the beach:
I was elated when my Italian friends offered some help (they took her to Catania for example) and together we had wonderful evenings and "Italian style" dinners.
Ania, who loves frutti di mare (seafood), took pictures of almost every dish we had these days!

...then she also prepared some typical summer Polish plum cake for us:
... and OF COURSE we went for a pizza with her!
Ania OF COURSE was astonished about how the Italians park their cars... Well, I got used to it.
Then we went to Poland together. Of course I couldn't miss the Manufaktura complex, which I find absolutely amazing! You can do absolutely everything in there- there's a big commercial centre when you can indulge yourself with shopping, you can go to SPA, go bowling, watch a movie in the cinema, go clubbing in the evening, eat delicious meals in more than 40 various pubs and restaurants, I love it!
Of course I was meeting my friends for some... Italian coffees... in fancy new cafés : )

and I was walking a lot in the park close to my house:
...and then one day I decided to have my hair cut:
... I visited some of the furniture shops with my Mum since she's considering buying a new coach to the living room... Sometimes I saw really strange things like this....
or that....
... but in my opinion the beauty of simple things always wins...
During the second week of my holiday, I mostly... worked... yeah, I worked as a translator/interpreter during the International Nature Film Festival that is held every other year in my city. It's a great honour and pleasure for me to be invited to work there.
And that's all for me. I'm back. I'm happy, relaxed and ready to move on. But now I need to catch up with all your blogs!!! : )))

ReplyDeleteElla: Yes, that could have been manufaktura, it was opened 3 years ago if I'm not wrong.
Jordan & Al: When are you coming to visit me here??
Al: This Zebra coach... I don't say it looks bad I said it looks strange (and crazy) and I think it matches you perfectly : )) I hate seafood too.. therefore everytime we're in a seafood resto, I opt for fish.
