🐈 Люблинская уния была подписана ровно 450 лет назад в 1569. Так появилась Речь Посполитая. В школе это учил каждый белорус, но редкий бывал в Люблине. А зря. От атмосферы 700-летнего города здесь перехватывает дыхание. На фото - головокружительный вид с местного замка, в котором собственно и подписали знаменитую унию. . 🐈🇬🇧 The Union of Lublin was signed exactly 450 years ago in 1569. It was a start of the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth. At school every Belarusian studied this fact, but there are not many who visited Lublin. But you should feel this atmosphere of the 700-year-old city! In the photo - the view from the local castle where the Union was signed. . 🐈🇲🇨 Unia Lubelska została podpisana dokładnie 450 lat temu w 1569 r. W ten sposób pojawiła się Rzeczpospolita.

Late Blog Post

I forgot to mention in a few blogs ago that it was the 100th day of school last Friday (Friday, January 30)! Pretty exciting. Since this school has school all the time, literally, only Holidays when the entire city/country is shut down, I am sure we will celebrate the 200th day of school! We made a chart with 100 words and made silly 100 day hats! :-) It is so amazing to be able to act silly and like a kid for my daily job.

Aren't we cute with our amazing hats and 100 words!?

Satuday, Chini and I visited Lublin, Poland. This is a city on the east side of Poland. We took the trusty Polski bus there and back. It only cost around $10. This place I tell you, almost everything is super cheap. Of course we checked the weather before we left and it said cloudy and cold. However, when we got there it was a blizzard. I did not wear my snow boots either! I bought two pairs of boots last winter at Khols, a black and brown pair. I can not believe how poorly shoes are made in the States! The tiniest bit of water seeps into these shoes and my feet are instantly wet, so needless to say, I was miserable. It was windy, super cold, and the snow was coming down in all different directions! 

Even though the weather was poor, Chini and I were determined to make this a great trip. First, well first we got lost and were walking around in circles trying to find the Lublin Zamek (castle) and it was right in front of us the whole time, so first we went to the Lublin Zamek. The funniest sight was Chini and I trying to find our way. We had umbrellas to attempt to block the snow and wind, you had to see it to really laugh, it was pretty funny! Alright, back to the Castle. This castle has served as many different things since it has been built. The royal family used to stay here in the 15th century, it was then made into a prison  for 128 years! Many Polish people died here in 1944. In 1957 it was restored and made into a museum! The only portion of the castle that was preserved this whole time was the Holy Trinity Chapel. Wow, this chapel is amazing! There is a painting of Jesus or his works with disciples on every single section! It was so amazing to see.

It was windy, foggy, snowy, and freezing! But it was a cool site. :-)

After this we walked around Old Town, at this point the snow was still coming down, but not as bad! We saw the famous "Cracow Gate" which leads you into the Old Town. The buildings in the Market Square are painted with all different designs, it was very cool! The next thing on the list was the Underground Museum (The Fortuna Cellar). This museum has 10 rooms, 9 of these rooms had exhibitions about Lublin and Poland during the time of the war and how people lived. The 10th room was a wine cellar and has these amazing paintings on the walls dating back from the 16th century! Each painting had it's own story. So amazing!

I inserted the website for the museum because I thought it was so amazing and there is a lot more information on the site! :-)

After this we went outside and it was SUNNY! How crazy. We made it through a blizzard, the cold, wet feet, and now the sun came to play! We decided to walk around Lublin and see what we could find. There were these "trails" along the way. Heritage Trail of the Jews, Multicultural Trail, and Trail of famous Lubliners, just to name a few. There were markers and information all over the city to follow! It was pretty cool to follow some, for some reason we could never find them in the right order, oh well! 

Yah! Sunny! :-)

The last thing we did was eat at an amazing Jewish restaurant named Mandragora. It was so delicious! I had some very yummy traditional Kosher Jewish food. I first bought a loaf of challah bread, then I had ........... which was rice, beans, beef, and egg; and for dessert....... which was bread pudding but with egg noodles. It was all very delicious! 

Look at that good looking model! ;-)

Jewish Cholent- rice, beans, egg, and beef! YUM!

Chini had dumplings with potatoes and garlic-not a lot of options for a vegetarian here! Lots of duck and other meat!

Lokszen Kugel- Bread pudding made with egg noodles- it was a little dry, but pretty good other than that!

It was then time to go home, we were very tired because of the weather and my app on my phone said we walked 12 miles, I am sure that is not 100% accurate, but my goodness we walked a lot! I am still sore from it!

Night selfie with Old Town Market Square in the back. :-)

Do zaboczenia!

PS- I have had this blog finished for 2 weeks now, but for some reason I can not upload other pictures so I have been trying different things, and unfortuantely I have no idea why I can not upload anymore! So, I decided to post without the rest of the pictures.
