Linda and I stopped for coffee and a wonderful apple pie (more about the great food later post) across the street from one of Warsaw's many churches. We were doing what many people in Poland everywhere do: sitting at a sidewalk restauracja; enjoying the summer day; and, peopler watching, especially the many young couples holding hands while walking and the even more whole families (babies to grandparents) strolling around the very broad main streets. In addition we were viewing in awe the Warsaw the Poles had rebuilt from everything of cultural significance being purposefully blown to bits to leave the Poles with nothing.
So, across the street, at the church there was a large group gathering. Like a tourist, what is going on. Grab camera and arrive to find a family dressed in local folk costumes. It seems such dress is worn for special family occasions such as Baptisms. Can identify the parents with baby?
Weddings in Poland is next............
