For those of you who don't know...Toruń has been twinned with Philadelphia, USA since 1976. At the moment there is a group of American teenagers over here from 'Philly' on a special youth exchange visit. So far their programme has been jam-packed with the notable highlight being a close encounter with the legendary former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa.
TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO has been sent these exclusive images (courtesy of http://www.kujawsko-pomorskie.pl/).

This post is specially dedicated to Mike Braciszewski in Philadelphia whose daughter Manon is currently over here on the trip. He first contacted us a couple of days ago looking for information about the visit...so here it is!

Very interesting & congratulations on being featured in the newspaper's website. I saw the notice in the city daily photo main website.
How exciting! I think student exchanges are such a great experience for young minds - it's something they will always remember, and it sounds like meeting a former president will be an unforgettable highlight.
