It's Independence Day

November 11, 1918, Poland came back to the map of Europe as a nation after 123 years. Today is a national holiday (even though it's a Sunday). An occasion - like May 3 - to hang out the flags. Here in Ursynów, on ul. Hawajska, we can see that this is a popular thing to do, with around one in five apartments showing patriotic fervour in this way.

Moni and Eddie with their respective guide and scout troups spent the cold (+2C) and gloomy day marching around Warsaw, attending Mass with the Archbishop, and taking part in fieldcraft exercises.
