Bieszczady

Sat Jul 18, 2009, 11:50 AM

Well, hello.
I haven't written since January, so I think it's time to write a new journal entry. I've just got back home from a vacation trip to Bieszczady mountains - and I need to say that most of the past week was wonderful. My cousin's husband was also with me and my parents during two first days; he was born in this place and he owns small, wooden house, lost in the woods. It has no water (you need to go to a nearby stream for the water) and electricity (candles), and inside it's only one room (but it looks like a museum - there are skulls of animals and fishes' heads on the walls, old guns, small paintings etc.). That place is magical - we spent, unfortunately, only one day here, but it was amazing. After the twilight, we heard multiple sounds of animals, and Daniel and his father told us stories about them; for example, do you imagine having a boar as a pet? Sounds crazy.

To my disappointing we didn't see much of the mountains themselves - my mom strained her ankle, so we mostly visited small churches, old cemeteries and museums. We visited also Sanok's ethnographic outdoor museum - it's a one of the biggest open air museums in Poland. It was impressive, it has around 200 buildings, which have been relocated from different areas of Sanok Land. On the way back home, we stopped in Sandomierz, Kazimierz Dolny and Łańcut. I was amazed by the first town. It has two beautiful churches - the St. James's church, with beautiful portal from the 13th century (it makes honestly BIG impression) and the gothic one, I unfortunately don't remember the name; probably because I saw it only from the outside. The entrance was guarded by a zealot, who said I can't go in, because my pants are too short (association with Cerberus, anyone?). -.-"
Sandomierz has also charming marketplace and small streets, and beautiful houses, castle and the Opatowska Gate. Kazimierz Dolny in turn, well... it's very "trendy" town right now, but for me it wasn't that beautiful. End of the story. The Łańcut Castle is a 17th century palace and it's occupied by a large museum. We also saw the Krzyżtopór castle, located in the small village of Ujazd. This one is practically ruined, but it's raw beauty is mesmerizing.

Well, so now I'm home and I want my brother's head on the golden plate. During our absence he invited some friends to our house, so now we have eight empty bottles of beer on the terrace, and my room was practically in ruins - he probably looked for something and I swear he's dead as soon as he gets home, good thing that he didn't touch the sword. Next time we leave I want change of the lock in my door.

I made hundreds of photos, so you can soon expect new photos, manipulations and stories - I wrote much. ;)
Have a nice day.

    We do not need magic to change the world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
