I Am Canadian

Back in Koczala for a little bit more. Took another walk to the cafe – 45 there, 45 back – by way of the lake.

Chojnice

Chojnice. It’s the nearest ‘big’ town. It’s not really that big, not when you’re used to living in Toronto, but it is the biggest town around.

Walking Your Past

Lovely quiet walks. We had a fun little walk with my Mom around Przechlewo where she told my Girl about some family history.

Showed the various buildings and who worked and lived where. I didn’t know some of it either, so it was nice to hear these things that people don’t really talk about: their past.

Przechlewo

A visit to Canpol, a ride in an amusement park, a walk down memory lane in another village (where my aunt lives), and a swim in another lake.

The School

This school, where my Grandmother worked for most of her life, and where my Mom and Uncle studied.

Cafes and Ant farms

At the lake resort, called Bobo, is the only cafe around. It’s about a 45-minute walk from my Babcia’s.

Szymbark, Upside Down House, and Kaszubian Museum

Bit of a big day here!

Gravesite

As I said, it wasn’t all fun and games. On one of the days, we went to the cemetery, to clean up the graves of our family.

The Lake

Let me tell you about the lake.

Round the Lake and Equipment?

On this day we decided to go around the whole lake. It’s a big undertaking and takes a few hours.
