Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise

Yesterday we got a tour of the Tri-City area (Gdansk-Gdynia-Sopot). As part of the tour we got to go to the Baltic Sea beach and put our hands/feet in the water (it was quite cold). Then we took a walk out on the pier so we could get a good look around.

After the pier we got to taste water from the Baltic. According to locals, you make a wish and then take a sip of water with your left hand and your wish will come true and you will live a life that will be 'healthy, wealthy, and wise'.

Then a little while later we went to St. Mary's Basilica. At the Basilica, locals also say that if you put your right hand on the rivit, and a wish, and look through the crack of the door into the church your wish will come true and your life will be 'healthy, wealthy and wise'

Looks like we should be doing pretty good from here on out in life according to those living in Gdansk, Poland :)

We are off to Torun tomorrow morning!
