Gdansk and upcoming May Day

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Euronews recently had a very good story on the Mayor of Gdansk who was killed this part January. Over 20 years as mayor Piotr Adamowicz not only expanded the city’s economy but was also building a community of tolerance for the LBGT community and immigrants. With May Day (worker’s day) on Wednesday I thought it would be only appropriate to show pictures of the Solidarity Museum in Gdansk. When I first went to Gdansk almost 10 years ago the museum was in a bunker near the shipyard and guarded by an abandoned tank. The link below is for the new museum.

I have too many photos (old and new) to post here but needless to say, if you ever have a chance to visit Gdansk, the museum and center are a must see. Happy Workers Day!

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.
