The New Resolution

Today was a very nice day. Georgia and I hanged out at the Coffee Hill in the morning and studied. Today, a waitress was in charge instead of the multilingual guy and on the account of no customers she watched Beoynce concert on her register computer. It was blasting and she was watching it transfixed. 

Kids had created a few challenges for Irina today, but everyone had a great day. Gross details shared upon request.

In the evening Dan and I walked around the city for several hours. It seems emptier than in prior years. And compared to the hustle and bustle and diversity of Tallinn almost provincial. Even the stags are low profile if not missing all together. Maybe the trick is to go to a city who had been declared Europe’s Capital for a year.

This poor fountain does not have enough power left in it to whip up some bubbles.

Went to Sushi House on Vilniaus gatve. It has a few cute local elements – no chopsticks, spider roll means salmon and tuna roll, they serve food with scallions. I’ve asked for the coke to neutralize the poisons but they only have gazillion versions of green tea and juice in the plastic cans. At least no dill like in the prior years. It was so enjoyable to eat sushi after a month of deprivation that we decided that we will systematically evaluate every single one in the remaining time here. Wish us luck and no poisoning.

We did see our homeless guy. He did not have the chance to change or take a shower yet since last year. He was moving too fast to get an updated picture. Rosita and America America guy are nowhere to be seen. Maybe in Palanga still?

 New sculpture in front of the library. Very pretty. Not sure what the sign says.

For those natural born Vilniees, apparently there is a metro station up here. We did not walk up there but looks pretty realistic.

Gediminas does  indeed cast a shadow on the lower castle. His arrow is pointing right to the gates. Maybe he is trying to say – open up?

A share of bachelor / bachelorette parties. Some girls made a poor driver of enormous limo drive around practically in circles on the Gediminas – Vilniaus gatve circuit. On the good note, he would be driving in circles if he was in Kaunas where the only venue is the main city square.
