On the road: A Bright New Day

Poznan city hall

Its a perfect weather to welcome a new day. I walked around at the area, spotted an orthodox church near by. Then we went to the city, the old makrkt, and got to see this everyday noon city performance: the two goats of Poznan! Was a nice short attraction to remember the city for sure. :D. The first surprise if the day!.

the city icon

Then Kasia showed up n followed by Patty not long after. The other Kasia left n we walked, talked, and made some jokes together around the city. Shown the Cathedral, the 'important n memorable' bridge with it padlocks while we enjoyed the strong wind. Yeah, we're being welcomed in the 'island':D The Cathedral is grand and is the first in Poland, buit in 966, spreading the Good News to all Poland. Surrounded by two rivers with its own compound, it looked great. But when i saw the imaginary of the original compound, it was even more beautiful. I loved it so much. Hoping that i can be in that place around those years :D


Then i was also shown the Fara, another 'hidden' but grand Church, which is furnished elegant and exclusively amazing! Second surprise! At all those times there were Masses being commenced. All these shown how Christianity has some spark in the city. Declining, they say, but still very much alive. I was being shown a shopping centre which used to be an old factory, but they rebuild it without loosing its 'factory sense' with addition as a multipurpose area. Concerts, art, culture presentations are being held there too!

@ Maniekin with Wojtek, Kasia, Patty and Aga

We then ate in Maniekin, a fancy n cozy restaurant. The food was delicious, and Wojtek showed up! We were all really starving because it was 3pm n we still had to wait another 40 minutes for the food because the restaurant was really full. But we had a great time. Aga then showed up to add our joy. Another surprise.

Then we headed to Dominikania, a Catholic church n attended mass. Simple, but dark, and i didn't understand any word :p. Afterwards we parted n Wojtek, Aga n me continue to the café Misja, a christian cafe, professionaly managed, but gave lots of access for ministry and missions such as meetings, concerts, movies n as place to hang out itself. It was cozy, simple n warm. Another inspiring surprise! Awesome!

The end of the day was a give thanks, and a short sleep because Krotozyn awaits early tomorrow morning!
