Sandomierz Local Custom Tips by Pawtuxet

Windows to the world

There is something special about lace curtains moving in the breeze by an open window. Especially if the window itself is architecturally interesting. Such is the case all around the main square in Sandomierz. I find this one of the very charming things about European apartments...seeing it often throughout a number of countries. I particularly like casement windows with stone frames.

costumed for the day

This guy didn't seem to have any particular purpose..but to simply walk thru the square in his long skirt and strange hat. Several other costumed young people would appear from time to time as well. Gosia was intrigued with the bagpipers who appeared in their kilts to do a bit of marching and piping. Must have been connected to the students from the university.

Apteka

Everytime I see a drug store in Poland... it fascinates me. Their architecture, signage and pharmacy symbol are so much more interesting than looking at our American drug stores...CVS, Walgreen's, and the like. which would you prefer?

Beautify the square

I hope you can enjoy all of the pics I offer here as much as I have. The architecture is quite lovely, and I found the balconies draped with blossoms to be quite charming. There are colorfully decorated little scenes like these all around this tiny village. I love the wrought iron railings and the decorative discs and paintings on the facades of the buildings.
