Vilnius Continued...

Last night we met 2 of Kristin's friends for a late dinner of wine &
tapas....so YUMMY! Then we went to one of the local Latin dance hot
spots.

Today we had another relaxing day in Vilnius! Had lunch at a street
cafe and "people watched" for a couple hours. Kristin strategically
picked this spot so we could watch the many wedding parties that
parade through Old Town on a typcial Saturday afternoon to take
wedding photos. The bridesmaid dresses and wedding dresses are a
sight! Great people watching to say the least!
spent the rest of the day exploring
*the city within a city (cool artists community that is technically
has it's own government and is seperate from the rest of the country).
*the old historical castle...climbed to the top for a beautiful view
of the city.
*enjoyed Old Town shopping, a few more churches and picturesque streets.

On a more personal note: It is so nice to do some leisurely
sight-seeing and just enjoy the company of two close friends as we see
a new part of the world. This morning I commented to the girls how
one of my fav parts of us traveling together is getting up and getting
ready together in the mornings, sipping coffee (like we do back home),
reading a bit of Ozwald Chambers to get the day started, with praise
music playing in the background. I know my friends are even more of a
gift from God than any amount of traveling and adventure!

....also missing my friends back home and thinking of you guys often!

  1. Amen to that personal note, Charity! It was awesome to have April in the flat for a few days and feel a bit of home. The Old City sounds fab..can't wait to hear about Croatia. Send a shout out to my old housemate Margita while you are in Split! :)
