Jaroslaw Jedrzejczak and his wife Justyna are RRIs listeners from Wloclavek, Poland, who recently spent a 7-day holiday on the Romanian Black Sea Coast as winners of our contest \u201cHoliday on the Black Sea. The attractions they visited included the National History and Archaeology Museum, the Museum of the Romanian Navy and the Carol I Mosque in Constanta. From the 40-m tall minaret of the mosque, the Polish guests admired the birds eye view of the city. Jaroslaw and Justyna, who are Catholic believers, had a first contact with Orthodoxy at the \u201cSaints Apostles Peter and Paul Cathedral in Constanta.<\/p>\n

That was the first step of an initiation journey that also took them to the St. Philip the Apostle Monastery in Adamclisi and the Dervent Monastery, where a monk told them the story of that special worship place. The Polish guests were impressed by the two healing crosses at the Dervent Monastery and drank water from St. Andrews Spring, well-known for its curative property. In Mangalia Jaroslaw and Justyna visited the \u201cConstantin Balescu Vice Admiral Naval Training School, the Military Circle and the Navy Cruise Division 150, where they went on board the Flight vedette boat. The Callatis Arhcaeology Museum and the Esmahan Sultan Mosque were greatly appreciated by our guests. At the end of their stay, I asked Jaroslaw, Jarek as his friends call him, to share his impressions about his visit to Romania:<\/p>\n
