As you know by now, V and I are trippin to and now in Lithuania! It’s my first time in Eastern Europe!

What has happened on our adventure so far:

V and I spent first phase of the trip in Copenhagen, specifically: Christiania and of course hotel room, why? maybe because it was freakishly cold outside – my little baby toe is still waiting to be revived from it’s cold coma. Plus a little bit of snow, which was not that bad.

Next morning (very early ) after gigantic freeze attack we had to get to the airport on time. Flights: Copenhagen to Warsaw – went well (minus all the smelly polish people, that’s mean, but can’t hide the fact(that’s what V said)), and the second flight from Warsaw to Vilnius was delayed a few hours, but we made it! Yes we did! And I was very surprised to find that there were at least 6 American’s (not including myself), on the plane.

The next few days V gave me a tour of his hometown. We were going to walk across the lake to one of the islands but I heard the ice start to crack and ran back to the shore. V said it would be ok, but he also told me he has fallen in a few times before so I decided that he wasn’t the most reliable source (lol) and stayed on land the rest of the walk. And I bought some awesome Lithuanian souvenirs to take home with me.

Past days were more than awesome, but just on Christmas Eve we finally went to see Castles and historical monuments! I don’t think it was very exciting for V but it was for me. I love visiting old castles and towns and everything that is really,really old because I don’t get to see history like this in America. And tonight I get to eat a Lithuanian Christmas Eve dinner with (all pseudo vegetarian and pure vegan(v’s case)) 30 freaking dishes (standard is 12 though)!

That’s it for now.

But what’s next for us? Vilnius!

P.S.- I’m not spoiled.
