Wanderlust: Poland Heritage Tour, Part II

The road to Gburyk land, at least inhabited since the 1770s.

From Joan Didion, and certainly applicable to the work my father has done over these past 40+ years:  

 

“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.”

Managed to find a four-leaf clover on the property. A good sign.
