Our Mid-Life Crisis Through Europe

Celebrating Lublin Style

Our second stop was in Lublin, the city where Luke was born.  We expected to have a quiet stay in Lublin, perhaps meet up with an old friend while there.  When we arrived, we realized that our visit coincided with a Renaissance festival, a holy holiday and Remembrance Day (similar to Veteren's Day).  FTW!

The renaissance festival had a very different feel from the festivals in Florida. Well for one, you do not have people riding large roosters through the town.







On our second day, the city was celebrating Remembrance Day.  It was interesting as they had a park where they had different military vehicles and equipment for the public to look at.   Very different from America, the public was allowed to pick up and touch the items.  One man picked up and unsheathed a sword and was poking at it mentioning how dull it was.





The upside to having these events fall on the same time as our stay was to have exciting things to explore each day.  The downside was that multiple stores, banks, and importantly, laundromats were closed the whole time we were there.  Washing clothes by hand = no fun (especially when the items do not dry by the morning)
