What does a former shtetl taste like? In Szydłów, my answer is: plums. 💜🍦 https://www.instagram.com/p/DciJpEoiMF8/ My city break from Warsaw? It’s a visit to Konstancin. 🌿 A big city, a great sense of calm 🌿 Summer’s sweetest dilemma? 💙🍓 Wrapping up an inspiring seminar for teachers and educators. I’m leaving with nearly 40 pages of notes, a full-page reading list, and one tiny piece of emergency origami folded during the lectures. 📚✏️🪽 You can look at Warsaw. You can listen to it. But you can also touch it. There are exhibitions you visit. And then there are those that leave you sitting quietly for a while, long after you've stopped looking. June and July have their own bouquet in Warsaw. The kind you admire, the kind you breathe in — and the kind you can eat. 🌹✨
