I just noticed that Gosia, our incredible guide in the Pomerania Region of Poland is my first subscriber to this new blog.  We were so fortunate to be able to spend a week with Gosia this past September on a Culinary tour of this intriguing area of Poland along the Baltic Sea.  She showed us villages, history and sand dunes. Yes, that's right.  Some of the most beautiful giant sand dunes are in Poland's North.

We were introduced to Westerplatte, the site where the first shots were fired in World War II.  We visited a produce market.  We learned to cook the Polish way...both in the homes of Kashubian ladies and at a famous Culinary school.  We ate.  Boy, did we eat.  We were served some of the finest meals that we have ever had.  We dined in the Gothic Restaurant in the World's largest castle, Malbork Castle.  The castle is also the largest brick building in Europe. We also dined at Pod Lososiem, an elegant small restaurant.  Gosia also took us on a tour of Stuthoff, a large intact concentration camp.  Stuthoff was the first concentration camp opened by the Nazis as well as the last camp closed at the end of the War.  A moving experience indeed.
