We had an appointment to take the family out to the University to meet Daiva, Audrone and Sagita, so we took the bus out. We also stopped at the coffee shop so that I could introduce my favorite coffee lady. We enjoyed the brief visit and then took the bus to McDonalds. Chicken nuggets for Rosa and hamburgers for the rest of us. None of us are Mcdonalds folks at home. Why would you be when there is Chick Fil A? That is a fine fast food sandwich. We only got the restaurant in Akron a couple of years before we mmoved, and some of the teachers at Tallmadge had not ever eaten at one. They said my description put them in mind of the famous scene from WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. I don't remember it esactly that way, but I do recall that drooling was involved.
We headed home and the old people went down for a nap while the young ones went out for a walk. They went to the felt store, which Rosa loves as much as I do and bought me a table piece that will be beautiful in our living room.
We headed out for pizza and calzones and then to the parkfor bubbles night. We were planning to meet Joris and family, but Audrone came rushing up to tell us that he had broken out with chicken pox. They don't immunize for that here, and she was worried because we had been exposed. She had brought Rosa some gifts and a special cake that Joris likes for his birthday. We tried it when we got home, and it was delicious. It was chocolate and had pieces of cookie throughout. We emailed to ask for the recipe.
She had also figured out our schedule to the Hill of Crosses and offered to call the taxi to take us to the train station since we would have all the luggage. Bless her heart, she is so good to us. Shortly after we got home, she called to say that her sister in law. Erika, would be glad to meet us at the train station and go with us to the Hill. I felt bad to have her take time off work, but we were delighted to have her company.
Rosa and I sent Joris several time delayed get well cards from the Jacquie Lawson collection. They are beautifully animated e cards designed in England and set to lovely music. You pay less than $20 per year and can send as many cards as you like. One of the neat things is that time delay feature. I like being able to tell them when I want it sent. You also get a message that the card has been sent and when the recipient opens it.
Our train from Klaipeda to the stop for the crosses was a class 3 train which meant it stopped at every little town. We kind of enjoyed that, and the seats were really comfortable. For some reason, the tickets for the trip on to Vilnius were first class, so we ended up riding in a glass container for 6. In caase you didn't already figure it out, I was not a great fan of the first class option. Being closed up in a box with 5 others, even when most are your nearest and dearest is just a bit claustrophobic for me. The young woman who was also in the box was quite charming. She is a student, off for the summer, but was going to Vilnius to practice with her folk music group. There are about 100 members in her group.
We checked back into the Mano Lisa, had dinner just down the way in a tapas place and then settled in for the evening.
