Marta and Kangur, Olsztyn (PL), September 2008

In the beginning of September, we went to Olsztyn to celebrate the wedding of Kangur and Marta, Ewa’s friend from the student times. Olsztyn is a medieval city in Mazury. The latter is the region in the northeastern Poland famous of its numerous lakes and wild forests. This is the place where one can still encounter a bison in wild. The Masurian Lake District is known as the “land of a thousand of lakes”.
