On May 4, on the balcony of the City Hall of San Francisco, the Polish flag was raised. It was very nice to participate in this official event, organized by the city of San Francisco and San Francisco-Krakow Sister City Committee.
To celebrate the Polish Day the Polish Consul flew from Los Angeles. In his speech he mentioned the important dates in May in the Polish calendar: the Ratification of the Polish Constitution, the Polish accession to the EU, and the day honoring the Polish diaspora.
There was a Polish Birthday toast to San Francisco’s Mayor Ed Lee. Guests invited the Mayor many times to finally come and visit the beautiful city of Cracow. Let me add that he is the first American of Asian descent to be elected for the office.
The elegant International Room in which the toasts took place reminded me of the years when I worked in Warsaw.
Although sometimes I would like to go revisit that time, I know that soon equally important challenges are coming my way:)
