Vilnius, Lithuania


a central square

beautiful north-eastern europe

the constitution of the small autonomous town within Vilnius

Lithuania

we 'hiked' up to a fort above the city.  Paulius gave some interesting history lessons including the fact that Lithuania was the last country in Europe to adopt Christianity.  Prior to that, for centuries it was some form of 'Pagan voodoo cult' as he put it.

Kirill "The Captain" showed me this picture of his job which is to load missiles and torpedos aboard atomic submarines.  Many of the people I met were connected in some way to the military or were engineers.

Solyanka is delicious

This was to be a subway at one point but the rock was too difficult to drill and so it is just a small underpass.
