wine, more wine and my hometown
June 25th, 2017

Wine

A few weeks ago we visited Alsace, a beautiful wine region
in the northeast of France. We stayed in the historical town of Colmar, which is one of many old little charming towns offering wine tasting in a variety of wineries. The towns, or
rather villages, are located next to each other
and are surrounded by vineyards. I loved the
feel of this historical and well-preserved region. I would
return to this place with no hesitation
to admire old buildings, sit in the local cafe or
have a glass of my favorite, recently discovered, wine
​Gewurztraminer. And how romantic is
​that? 

more wine

Next, we went to Wurzburg, which is
located in Bavaria, Germany.  Wurzburg and the surrounded villages were like the
extension of Alsace: old towns, eye-pleasing vineyards, local farmers markets, good food, good wine and a sense of the regional
​culture.



and my hometown

Finally, we visited my hometown, Warsaw. I grew up in communistic Poland, which has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. And it has changed for
better, much better. I love the new and modern
architecture. I love the wide and clean streets. I love cafes and restaurants. I love the culture and
tradition. I love old restored towns. I love the old
generation, which lived in communism and I love the new generation, which grew up in capitalism. There could be a clash between these two generations,
but it is not. They learn from each other: the elders how to live and the youngsters how not to take
​things for granted. Not bad at all.​

Iceland

Nature
​with my favorite geothermal area
where Vikings met Irish
​where the earth boils, explodes and calms
where I felt scared walking close to volcanoes
where I felt fascinated by moss covering lava
where there are too many waterfalls to count
where I felt that earth cannot be taken for granted
where there are more sheep than people
​where there are more horses than trees
where the northern lights have a lot to do with the sun

​


Barcelona, Spain

City
​with my favorite architect Antonio Gaudi
where history meets modernism
where the past can not be forgotten

where you can walk forever
 where you can mingle with people
where you can walk along the beach

​where the nightlife is part of the culture


​

Santa Fe, New Mexico

American History
with my favorite Opera House and Aspen Ballet
​where the Native Art meets the Spanish influence
