Garczyn and Olpuch

Some minutes ago my mother, my brother and I arrived back in Gdynia in the house of my aunt Dana. We spent the whole day in Garczyn and then in Olpuch.

Garczyn is a very small village with some houses, fields, a lake, a church and a cemetery. On the cemetery there are many graves of Esden-Tempski family members. We washed the new finished tomb and posed some plastic flowers so that it looks a bit more colorful.

We also were talking with the grave digger so he takes care about the graves.

There is also a chapel built for that is full now.

It was a very interesting excursion in the history of our family.

The rest of the day we spent in Olpuch at the house of my uncles Leszek. His wife, daughter, son and goddaughter were also there.

First we spent some hours at a lake that is in the area. Very nice warm and clear water. Beautiful simply beautiful.

Then we ate late lunch that took a lot of time was very tasty and flavored with witty discussions about everything and everyone.

After the lunch my uncle showed me his camera and photos he made with it. Very nice camera (a porsche compared to mine but I am happy I have a camera… time will show.. you know 😉 ) the images were also pretty impressing. I took also some images with it. That was marvelous… sigh.

The day ended pretty fast and we left back to Gdynia and so we are here at the end of the day…. good night.
