Lodz at Night September

The silver medalists. Three bonspiels, 3 seconds but the kids (team in the middle) were excited to beat Wes.
The manufacturing area of Lodz has been turned into a beautiful shopping area.
We were there after dark.

 We went to a restaurant called Tawerna Pepe Verde. The room we were in was decorated with Poppies and tea pots.
What was coming out of the ceiling?
Tea pots and tea cups.
Hunters stew was popular.
Goodnight Lodz.

It turns out it is not only a Cathedral and monastery but also a fortified shrine to the Virgin Mary. Jasna Gora is one of the biggest and most famous world pilgrimages and shrines after Lourdes and Fatima. It also has the national shrine of the Miraculous Icon of the Black Virgin Mary. Jasna Gora was first built in 1382 and has been under the constant care of the Order of  St Paul (the first hermit) The Pauline fathers. It's construction is unique in style as it has been changed and added on to over the 14-18th centuries. It is 5 acres in a bastion style fort and is 296 m above sea level....
