Christmas in Krosno - Part 2

Day 2 was fairly warm for this time of year and sunny. We went for a walk to escape at least for a while from eating, watching TV, playing cards and Rummikub.

The weather was very good and we just couldn't stay home.
Walk around Krosno.


Near town's amphitheater.


Feeding ducks on Odra river.


In the evening we landed in a pub in Zielona Gora. They had Irish beer there. ;)
With a pint of Murphy's:

Nice, warm and cozy. Food, idleness, family.
Christmas tree, presents, Christmas carols.
It was a good time.

Xmas Party

Happens every year. A Christmas Party. This year was somewhat special. Because of the economic situation and the expense freeze in the fourth quarter it was the first time we had to pay for ourselves. Gulp.. ;/ We went to Park Plaza Restaurant in Tyrrelstown. It's certainly a nice place but unfortunately the food wasn't very good and portions were rather smallish.
Anyway... we had a good time there...

Christmas Carols

We visited Farmleigh on the first weekend of December.
It was a usual market day with additional Christmas bonuses!
As usual we enjoyed every minute spent in there.
Christmas Carols sang by a bunch of Santas! :)


Donkeys!


The Crib!


Flowering trees! (December)


And the frost on the ground!
