Tourists in Turek

First published May 6th, 2005

This morning we went back to another Art Fair, this time in an old converted brewery in the centre of Poznan. We are not pretending that we have suddenly become art experts, but it was very interesting and impressive. There was even a Polish gallery owner who spoke Dutch !

After that we drove on to Turek where we would spend the night with Aneta and Ulisses. I had met them twice before, but for Ingrid is was the first time. And what a first time : it was Aneta's birthday, there was Mexican soup, a fantastic concert in a nice pub...

You see, Ulisses is a street musician from Oaxaca, Mexico, and he has an impressive collection of panflutes and other traditional indigenous instruments fron Central America. "El Condor Pasa" in a Polish cellar, it certainly has a nice ring to it.

It won't strike you as a surprise when I tell you we went to bed very late...and now we must rise and shine early to leave for Warsaw.
