Day 20 – Planning the next move

Thanks to uncle Isaac for his comment about syomga – it is a noble kind of salmon, so the small print was not lying.

Not too many interesting things today. Here is a beautiful top of the university chapel.

After several “so so” restaurants we needed to regroup, rethink our strategy, and consume perishables in our and Alicia’s fridges. The next move will be according to the recommendations of the Vilnius in your pocket guide. They agree with us on a very important point: they too said woe to Woo.

So I’ve spent some time planning activities for the next few weeks. On the solstice night there would be many different events in the city throughout the night, anyone want to join? http://www.culturelive.lt/en/events2008/events2008-7/. Alicia will stay over. We will also try to go to Kaunas, weather permitting, on Saturday.

Then Len and Susan are coming on the 24th and we will go on the tour of Jewish Vilnius with a rep from the Jewish museum. 2 official companies offer the tour: http://www.city-discovery.com/lithuania/tour.php?id=311 (102€ for 1) http://www.holidayguide.lt/id-jewish_life_in_vilnius.html (72€ for 2)
We called the first one having found it first. The director said yes, we offer the tour plus for another 100LT per person we can take you to Paneriai where “a lot of… hmm, Lithuanians died, some of whom were of.. hmm.. Jewish origin.” So we tried the museum next to see if they can suggest anything. Will see how it goes.

As we sat at home sipping coke from our paper cups and I noticed that they smell like coffee – maybe at the factory they make coffee too. Dan had a brilliant idea to put a bag with coffee, sugar and creamer on the bottom of the cup so that the only thing that needs to be added as hot water and sell to offices as a pack.

Here is a pic of another bachelorette. She chose a different alternative to the angel consume. There was a small group people around and we did not figure out what she needs help with.
