There I was, sitting in the shadow of the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill, gazing out over the Wisła River, and eating pierogi. It just doesn’t get any better than this!!!
I was in Kraków for the city’s 750th anniversary celebration, and, as always, PAT Tours booked for me a hotel at this wonderful location. A nice walk to the Rynek put me in the center of the celebration.
Most of this trip, however, was spent around Warsaw, visiting friends, including former dancers from the Mazowsze Polish Folk Song and Dance Ensemble. I also was privileged to travel with Mazowsze to see two of their performances outside of Warsaw. As always, their concerts touched my heart.

Droga Lowiczanko,
Greetings from Egypt. Thank you for your great photo essays on Poland and things Polish. Can you write more about Polish music?
Pozdrawiam,
J.
Hi Jurek,
I hope to have more blogs a bout Polish music soon.
I really want to write about Góralski music, but cannot find You Tube videos that I really like, so that will have to wait.
I am also working on the relationship between Polish folk music and American Polkas, but that is a big project !! so it may also take a while.
In the meantime, check out this website:

Great pictures and stories. Please write more about Polish music.
