Day 21 - July 18, 2018; Lithuania, Here We Come!

Yay! Today we finally came to Vilnius. First time this year! In the morning, we woke up and packed our bags for three days ahead. Then, we had breakfast and went to the mall for some last minute shopping. We got some pretty school books and some more Polish sweets and delicacies for Grandma Lilia. After getting everything we needed, we left the mall in the blistering heat and walked back to our apartment. As I have said, the heat was blistering and very, very hot; because of Grandpa’s knee pains and Grandma’s hate of the heat, we had to stay inside for the remainder of the day. At about 2:30, Dad came home so we left to get the car that was able to go to Lithuania. It’s really weird how they don’t let German cars into Lithuania. 

I must admit, the views at times were very beautiful. We saw a blood-red sunset over a grassy area, a bird hunting for mice, emerald green and moss green and pine green forests. Small villages and even gardens overflowing with fresh apples and pears and berries. Finally, after a six hour ride, we came to Vilnius. The owner of apartments led us to our rented apartment. It had air-conditioning, a large living room, a kitchen and a dining room. It was great! And that’s how this day went down in history, July 18, 2018.
