Amtrak

This is quite a new experience to me, I must admit, though traveling by train is nothing new and - in genera - I like it, as it gives me more freedom to work and move around without missing what is passing by the window along the route...

From West To East

Time to move on. It has been a wonderful time here in Los Angeles with caring and welcoming Fr. Rafal, sisters and the Polish community around the only Polish parish in the City of Los Angeles - Our Lady of Bright Mount. I simply cannot visualize what would happen if I had not know Fr. Rafal before I got my documents and money stolen in Stockton...It is just beyond my comprehension. Where would I go to seek help and shelter? With no IDs and no money! I needed to get to LA to get my stolen passport replaced at Polish Consulate in Los Angeles, but upon arrival to LA where I would go and stay with? How would I move around? How would I get to Polish Consulate? These are the questions I cannot find suitable answers till now...

Lone Rider

I have traveled several times by trains while in Europe. Never alone. Always with and among fellow travelers...But when it came to the last trip by train before boarding the plane which would take me back to Africa, there was no one on board with me. There was not even a train driver...

On My Way

Yes, I am on my way to Poznań, right now as I type these words on my iPhone, sitting in a train couch, for a series of meetings with people who wish to join Foundation Kiabakari starting with highest vacant position of a chairperson of executive board through posts in the council up to volunteers task force. Hope things will go well and we are able to move forward.

But the main reason of my travel to Poznań is to officiate at the marriage ceremony of my close friends on Saturday, who wished that I am present at their wedding. And they paid for air ticket from Tanzania to Poland! Amazing! I am deeply moved by their love and friendship...

Looking forward to meeting my fantastic friends in Poznań!
