Happy Easter to my friends, and hopefully tomorrow will be a dry day for all.
Lany poniedziałek (Wet Monday), is a Polish Easter Monday tradition which, in short, involves people throwing copious amounts of water at each other. The reason I was told is that this is a way for boys to show girls they like them and in some cases, the boy that soaks the girl ends up winning her and possibly getting married. Now it can be a full blown water fight but more with spray bottles, water balloons…. not necessarily buckets of water. Fortunately I never saw this but heard about it. I also remember seeing college kids doing it but with glass of water or water pistols. I think because I was a foreigner I was spared. Oh traditions. 😉
I love traveling and have been lucky enough to do a lot of it across the United States, most of eastern Canada and Europe. Here are some of my favorite places and memories from Europe. Hopefully there will be many more photos once travel is allowed again. Additionally, I am a real estate market analyst focusing on housing and senior housing issues and this had led me to travel all over for work. I have conducted research in Poland and the U.S. housing and senior issues, creating original data, and publishing results in a variety of publications. My book about senior housing issues in Poland is now available on amazon. https://tinyurl.com/yxml38bo. It too has some unique photos in it.
