BUFFALO: Friday, November 19

 
After the drive from Schenectady, before arriving at the hotel in Buffalo, we spent 1.5 hours at the Galleria Walden Mall, shopping and having lunch while the drivers went to fuel for the buses.  A lovely show last night at the Shea's Theatre, with 1100 audience members in attendance.

Buffalo – 19.listopada

Między Stanami a brzegiem Kanady

Inside Shea's Buffalo Theater

Buffalo ma znaczną liczbę ludności polskiego pochodzenia, a na początku XX
wieku drukowano tu wiele czasopism polskojęzycznych oraz powołano Kongres
Polonii Amerykańskiej. Stąd już tylko krok do Kanady (z pokoi hotelu
Hyatt, w którym się zatrzymaliśmy, widać most na rzece Niagara łączący dwa
kraje oraz wybrzeże jeziora Erie).
W programie koncertu w Shea's Performing Arts Centre (19.listopada)
znalazły się ponownie kolędy. Po finałowych ukłonach weszły na scenę dwie
małe dziewczynki w polskich strojach ludowych i wręczyły nam kwiaty.

-Michał Haber, Mazowsze vocalist

Between the U.S. and Canadian shores 

Buffalo has a large population of Polish origin, and at the beginning of the twentieth century there are many magazines printed Polish language and the creation of the Polish American Congress. It's only one step in Canada (with the rooms at the Hyatt, where we stopped, you can see the bridge over the Niagara River connecting the two countries and the coast of Lake Erie). The Polish Christmas carols returned to the program at the concert at Shea's Performing Arts Centre (19.November). After the final bows two little girls in Polish folk costumes came onto the stage and presented us with flowers.
