August 11 - A Real Rest Day

Tuesday in Trzebnica
This morning our decision to take a rest day seemed even better than it did last night! We moseyed to a leisurely breakfast at a bakery. Then we did a little sight-seeing while it was cool.

The Basilica of St. Hedwig was across the street. The main entrance was under reconstruction but the worker directed us around the corner to an open door.

It is very Baroque!

She was mopping the floor and NO ONE was going past her.

Just up the road from the hotel is this ultramodern waterpark/swimming pool. It was a very popular place all day. In keeping with it being a rest day, Donna did not even think of doing any laps.

The Church of Fourteen Helpers or Forest Church in the Beechwood Park built in 1886. It was tended by hermits until 1946.

Grotto of the Mother of Lourdes, built in 1926 out of bog stones.

We spent a couple of hours blogging then went to lunch.

Bella Vita Pizza - We had such a good lunch here yesterday that we came back for more.

We took a different route back to the hotel.

Spent a few more hours working on the blog.

Found our picture on Zorro's Facebook page.

Took one more cruise around town, this time to the main square. This youngster didn't notice Donna was taking a picture of the cat but it was much better with her in it so Donna asked her to stay. 

Her mom, Barbara, spoke English. She told us that there are cat statues all over town..... like Ann Arbors's fairy doors. She has relatives in Houston, Texas.

Barbara and John (Jana in Polish). He and Doug had a lot of fun as John liked to wiggle his eyes and Doug asked him to repeat several times, which he did.

Maya (Maja in Polish) was being camera shy.

Caught her when she wasn't watching by using the handy flip up screen on the camera while holding it at waist level.

Trzebnica was a delightful place for a rest day!
