Day 25 - July 22, 2018; Goodbye Wilna!

Today, it was time to leave Vilnius. I woke up early and packed(stuffed) all of our clothes into my backpack. Then, Dad and I took a stroll around the city for the last time. Sadly, almost everything was closed due to the fact that it was a Sunday and not even nine o’clock. We got back to the apartment, finding Isabella upset at leaving her alone with Grandma and Grandpa. We got pastries for breakfast, took even more for the road trip, and left. I got a pastry with cottage cheese, but Isabella got a pastry with sausage inside. Then, Grandma stopped us at a hat vendor. She got everyone hats, including Sasha and Vika. We went back to the apartment, where a woman was waiting for us to give her the keys to her apartment. 

 We drove to the nearest Maxima XXX, the biggest one, to get supplies for the trip and Irish Cream for Grandma Lilia. Soon enough, we left the Maxima and drove to Grandma Lilia’s house. Grandma was really sad to see us go, but alas, we had to leave. We drove out of the city and carried on for the next hour until we came to a forest. We got out and went looking for mushrooms. Instead, we found wild blueberries and started to pick them and stuff our mouths with them. I felt something crawling on me so I looked down, and there was a tick on me! We left pretty early after that. 

In two hours, we came to Augustus. We ate lunch in a restaurant called The Albatross. While the food is being prepared we left to go look around the city. Grandma and Grandpa also left so when we came back the servers were standing with our food at our table, scratching their heads looking at our table, not knowing where we had gone. It was very funny. After that whole debacle, we had ice cream. Isabella wanted a different kind of ice, but when they gave her the ice cream, it looked like neon chemicals had barfed on it. Isabella tried it and said, "Ew, I’d rather have something else." Well, that took a lot of time. Finally, finally, we left and took an uneventful trip, consisting of at least three hours and a lot of stress. Then, we finally came to our apartment! Whoo! And that’s how this day went down in history. July 21, 2018.
