Okay, I love this country, and I love its people, and I love the program... yeah...
Today I got to meet Dima's (our native coordinators') grandmother. She's super nice, I wish I knew enough Russian/Lithuanian to communicate with her though.
Then I got to see how they make a cake-like dessert, I forget what it's called. My batteries in my camera are all dead now, but my camera is also full of pictures and videos about making this spikey, hollow cake, so it's worth it. I will post the pictures another day, it's nearly midnight here.
Then I visited the hill of crosses. At 5 pm. It was dark and incredibly awesome, but then we heard a woman's voice speak quietly from somewhere even though there was nobody there, and Dima got spooked and we left. I couldn't take pictures, but it would've been too dark for that anyway. It really was amazing though, I never would've expected so many crosses, and just when you think you've seen them all, you reach the top of the hill and see more paths you can explore. I'm so going back.
Then I went to a genuine Lithuanian food restaurant, and got to try some zeppiline(sp?). It's so good, I have yet to meet a food here I don't like.
Now I sleep, tomorrow perhaps I write more.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
That sounds awesome! I want to see your pics. I'm sorry I forgot to get you a big pack of batteries at Sam's. please get pictures the next time you go to the hill. I'd like to see that.
ReplyDeleteHearing a disembodied voice in a cemetery is a disconcerting thing.
