Christmas in Poland - Warsaw part 2


Warszawa was extremely cold during my visit. I went to visit my nine months pregnant friend Dominika (last time when I was in Warsaw and we arranged to meet all I got was an answering machine as Dominika was already busy with giving birth to her first son! This time I had more luck as Ignacy was born on 27th of December so almost ten days after my visit.) She lives in Saska Kepa so that to meet her I had to cross the river ^
It was not the end of meeting friends with babies as Kasia's sister and my very good friend Joanka brought her son for his visit in Poland too! When I saw her last, Julian was still in her belly!
I was so happy and overwhelmed that I finally MADE IT to Poland after a year of absence that I quickly went to the All Saints church to say a quick prayer and drop a little plea for a saint Juda Tadeusz who as Monika Zeromska claimed is a very special saint specialising in unresolved matters.


I kept myself busy with photographying a Warsaw landmark - Palac Kultury which kept on creeping up on me everytime I have turned around. Here ^ it is just before my visit to Kasia's favourite hairdresser who she very kindly booked for me 3 months in advance! Now I am sporting a crop a la Juliette Binoche in Bleu though I got a parting on the wrong side and I cannot get used to it grrrr....
