Dear Jadwiga,
you are truly a woman of all seasons. I has been an absolute pleasure to get to know you and work with you.

In the afternoon I could do… read more

I stayed ten unforgettable days in Avalon famous Beach (if you'd like to have a funny idea of the place try to find the serie Avalon Now on the Internet;-) ).

A great couple to stay with and you can learn a lot from the way they live and treat each other. I myself have benefited a great deal from a short stay with them spiritually and physically. They always ask what I like to do and try their best to meet my needs. What a sweet couple!! You can't find a better one than this!!
