The atmosphere was not just friendly, but family-friendly, positive, sincere, and comfortable. What is stamped in the memory? The spring-sunny palette of colors on the cozy streets of Częstochowa, with a bitter taste of aromatic coffee and confectionery masterpieces on the alley of the Holy Lady Maria… What are we dreaming of? Of course,
