Ohhh :eek: I could have been there ...we planned a visit to Poland on october 10,11 ans 12th but we canceled it :(
Jee I regret now
 
I wish I could have some of those large photos. I love the way how Michael's leg is exactly in front of the other leg when he makes those long strides. It has a sort of military feel to it.
 
I got an amazing photo book of Michael's visit from a Polish friend. Some absolutely awesome photographs in it.
 
I will never ever forget how he had been visiting my country twice year after year.(1996-1997) It was like a fairytale...
I still cherish wonderful memories of every single day of his staying in Poland.
Love MJ forever
