Day 2 - Trakai

We loaded the car seat on the stroller and went to pick up Alicia and the car. Georgia liked sitting on top like the queen.

After a short ride we were there. We parked near the waterfront café at a pretty steep 3LT per hour. We walked around the castle and then took a dolphin boat and went around again.

Then we had some kibenai and Georgia had French fries and ketchup. There were three tied up boats on the lake with children on them singing songs in Lithuanian, Russian, and English. It really added to the wonderful atmosphere.

It was interesting to watch the people at the lake. There were lots of families with children. I expected to be the only short fat dwarf. It was hardly so. There was a good share of obese people here too, and those were not necessarily the visitors. In general we eat less than 1000 calories per day – food seems natural and very filling – we hardly ever feel hungry.

The people had grown bigger since our last visits – or perhaps we are looking at a different cross section now. Young people are still generally slim. It was funny to watch young girls in full flirt mode walking the trail on spikes.

Then we drove back home and Dan dropped off the car while we hanged out in the playground, grabbed some food in the supermarket next door and Dan and Georgia dropped off. I sent out some pictures and did research for Len’s visit and Michael’s dad.
