Poland 3

The view from the apartment where I stayed. All homes in Kolobrzeg are apartments. There are no houses, which was odd to me, since in America, every town has a combination of houses, apartments, condominiums, town houses, and other various types of living places. So these towering apartment buildings dot the town.

Poland 2

We went through several small towns between Berlin and Kolobrzeg, and I was enthralled by the beauty of them all. Here is one charming building with cute flowers in the windows.

Poland

In May I was privileged to travel to Poland for a few days to visit my sister, who was teaching English there. She showed me around the town for four days, then we spent a day in Berlin, Germany, before heading home on the same day. She had been in Poland for eight months by that time. Join me on a tour of Kolobrzeg (pronounced ko-AWB-jeg, with a soft French "j"), Poland, seen through the eyes of a small-town Pacific Northwesterner. Here is my view for the trip from the Berlin Tegel Airport to Kolobrzeg, an approximately 3-hour drive. And off we go!

Flashback

I took this just about a year ago when my daughter wasn't even a month old. Baby fingers, baby toes, baby eyes and baby noses...the best!

Happy Birthday 3

Four adorable little girls at a birthday party. This picture makes me smile every time, no matter how often I look at it.

Happy Birthday 2

The amazingly colourful birthday cake for the little birthday girl followed the party theme beautifully.

Happy Birthday

A friend of mine had a first birthday party for her daughter in July. One of my favourite parts was all the colours. The theme was stripes and polka-dots and these balloons were waiting for all the kids to take home.
