MY WONDERFUL HOLIDAYS

„At home and Plaza most of the time”

After Bieszczady (I told you about it) I spent some time at home. Day by day my friends and I would discover the wonders of the Plaza Centre- Lublin’s newly built shopping arcade. I got to like the kind od window shopping very much. We went to the cinema too from time to time. It was compulsory for us to go and see the latest Harry Potter movie- Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. What a wonderful movie that is! I think it is about the best in the whole Harry Potter series. And then there is Daniel Redcliffe himself- all the girls seemed to sigh at him as he kissed little Cho. I will share my little secret with you- to me as far as attractiveness is concerned Daniel Redcliffe has a quite strong rival and that is Rupert- you know the one who plays Ron Weasley.

“A family stay in Kaszuby”

At the end of July my parents, my brother and I went to Kaszuby. However the weather was so beautiful at the time that we preferred to spend time on the beach rather than visit some more folklore museums. And so as a result I remember more of Łeba, Sopot or Gdańsk than the Kaszubian Kartuzy, Kościerzyna or Złe Mięso. (little village :D )

“A trop to Supraśl/Vilnius” (Wilno)

Closer to the end of summer my family and I with my aunt, uncle and grandpa went to Supraśl near Białystok. There we did some sightseeing of the town as well as went on trip to a lovely city of Vilnius. In Vilnius we went to see the Old Town and the Polish Rasos Cemetery with its grave of the Polish Field Marshal Józef Piłsudki. I also saw the Gate of Dawn and prayed to Virgin Mary of the gate of Dawn. Vilnius is full of mementos of the history of Poland and that is why I sometimes like to think this city is a piece of polish soil.

ALL THESE EXPERIENCES MADE THIS ONE UNFORGETTABLE SUMMER!!!

MY HOLIDAYS

My holidays were very interesting. Every year from six years I go with my brother Marcin to the dance camps. This year we were in Mazurian Nowogród. This is a beautiful place. The weather was nice. Trainings were from 6 to 8 hours a day. We had dance classes with champions from Poland and the world. In the photos we are with Wiktor Kiszka & Małgorzata Garlicka (year ago).

In this picture we are with Grzegorz Citko & Ewa Skoczeń (year ago too)

Visitors on the camp were Kasia Cichopek and Marcin Hakiel- they came to our trainer to practise before The Dance Eurovision (I wish I had my camera then!!!). We were in a small aquapark in Zambrów at the beautiful lake.
Every year I meet my friends from many places in Poland but I always make new friends.
