Dziwnow Poland 2023 - Part 1

For international Women's Day last year we decided to head up to the Polish coast again - this time to Dziwnow. Since the holiday was on a Wed we headed up Tues night, Raymond worked from there Thurs and Fri and we had the weekend to explore. This was taken at night when we got into our place where we were staying. 

Again right on the beach with views of the water from the living room!

I loved it!

First day it was off to explore

It was so cold the sand was frozen in places







All the frozen sand! I had never seen that before so that was fun









So cold I had to put my mask on to keep my face warm!


We made it to "town"

We had lunch here - this was an inlet to a pretty big water area/lakes that go down to Szcezcin. 



This sign says something like only beets throw garbage into the forest - don't be a beet! Which I found pretty funny. Don't be a beet!


Kitty in a tree

Town is really small, but there is this one walkway that has a ton of these with the names of famous Polish athletes which was fun to wander through




This was the square of friendship, with items representing each city, between Dziwnow, Gorzow Wielkopolski (cinder motorcycle which is popular there), Werneuchen (tree from their coat of arms and forest location), and Sosnowiec (mining cars for the coal from the city)

This was a memorial to the wounded Greek people in the Greek Civil War in 1949 who covertly were smuggled into Poland to receive care

Walking along the forested path by the beach

Sunset from out place!

The next day Raymond was working so I had some crocheting to do, but also took a small wander down the beach the other way




And walked back through the forest which was really nice




So nice being able to relax and enjoy the views, or take a wander down the beach! I love it on the coast!

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install

Paris here we come!

So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we ma

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
