Sept. 24-Paderewski, bobbin lace and more...

Spectacular dessert
Although we spent a lot of time in the car today, we saw a great variety of things. First stop was the home of Ignace Paderewsky, famous Polish pianist in the late 1800's-early 1900's. Then it was on to see how bobbin lace is made. We happened to be at the village where an international lace exposition is to be held next month, and had a demonstration of how to make the lace. We drove through beautiful rural countryside towards the Slovak border.  Lots of new homes in this area of lakes and hills, with chickens, cows, and horses in nearly every barnyard. Last photo in this post is my dessert tonight.....fried banana, peaches, peas, kiwi, ice cream and whipped cream. I'm proud to say I only ate half of it.
