Day 462/463: Massive flooding in in Southern Poland… Roads flooded, closed and washed out. And after 6 hours in a car to go what should have taken 1 hour, it turns out rain doesn’t only effect cars it also slows trains down and my train was 4 hours late….. Fortunately the train from 3 hours [...]

Polish Wedding Reception!

Day 461: Of the entire wedding day, I was probably most excited for the Polish wedding reception, which I’ve heard can go on until the wee hours of the morning. But before you think it’s all fun & debauchery, there was also a lot of tradition in the Polish reception. In the picture above, it’s [...]

Polish Wedding, Part 2

Polish Wedding Preps

Days 457/458: A super fast couple of days flew by as soon as I met up with Tomek and Lena in Katowice, Poland. We headed into the Wisla region, bought a large supply of vodka for the wedding day (yes, that is 60 bottles for 50 guests!), did some scouting for wedding day photo spots, [...]

A Sad Day

Day 456: Today, whilst I was somewhere over the Atlantic on my way to Poland, my father in law passed away. So instead of telling you my tales of getting lost wandering in the rain looking for a hostel in Poland, I just wanted to share a few pictures of this man who was only [...]

Big Plans

Day: 48 Not really, I wanted to see the castle, get some good pictures, have a few killer meals, sit in a café and drink cappuccinos, eat ice cream and see a movie. I am not really in the mood to write out the specifics of the day, yet I managed to accomplish everything on [...]
