We took the train to Vilnius this morning. It really is quite comfortable, except for the fact that the seat backs are proportioned for people with longer trunks than ours. A little blow up pillow takes care of that with no problem.
We were seated in front of a boy about 9 or 10 and his grandmother. He was so cute, talked the whole way there (almost 5 hrs). I understood a word everynow nd then, but I certainly would have loved to be able to understand the whole conversation. He wasn't loud or anything, just happy and talkative.
Vilnius in your pocket mentioned an authentic Tex-Mex restaurant, so we took out walking to take care of my craving. It was a little more than a mile, which isn't a problem, but the slight rain that started shortly after we started, made the walk less fun than it might have been. Del had enchiladas and I had fajitas and we each had 2 mojitos. The food was delicious, and quite reasonable. The same could not be said of the mojitos. 64 litas of a 117 lita meal was for 4 mojitos. Ask me if I care. Remember, though, that 100 litas is about $40 US., so it was still a pretty good deal. The area we walked through was beautiful, perhaps we should examine it more thoroughly tomorrow at lunch time.
It sounds as though the storms have really been bad at home. I saw on Facebook that a tree fell on Rosa's tree house, swing and slide. Fortunately it went that way and not onto the real house. It could have been tragic during the night. They were blessed.
We will take lots of pictures tomorrow as we ramble, and I brought the gadget to transfer them to the computer this time.
Have a great rest of the week end.
When we get to Prague, we start spending Euros, and the story will be quite different. The exchange is not so favorable.
