The week started out on a wonderful note. Today we woke up early and along with mom and Isabella, we went to the main plaza, where at that time, electric scooters were all lined up in a row. After getting the app on my phone, I was able to rent out one of the bikes and ride around the square. The thrill of going fifteen miles per hour on a tiny scooter is something that can be barely matched by anything else.
When both mom and I had rented scooters, we rode (or in mom’s case; walked) down the main street called Pilies gatve. Word of advice people: do not ride on an electric scooter if you are on a cobblestone street. You’ll probably end up hurting either A) yourself, B) someone else, or C) the scooter. We got to the park, which is right down Pilies. By then one of our scooters was not working anymore, so we left it near the park and went in.

Usually, the park is beautiful and easy to navigate, but when you are on a scooter and the gravel is flying in every direction if you speed up too fast, it is not fun, it. Or, should I say, it’s not a walk in the park. Stopping by the tennis courts to see about the information necessary to rent out a tennis court and or rackets to play with.
Later, we went to the playground and became metaphorical peacocks, showing off to mom and seeing who could show off the most.

Pretty soon, however, we got bored of the playground and went to Uzupis, a tiny neighborhood that is artsy and cute. We left the second bike near the park and went into one of the art stores, which turned out being called the “Baltic Shamans.” 
It smelled thoroughly of incense, but the clay flutes and decorative objects were displayed beautifully and were very creative. We ended up buying two clay ocarinas and a postcard. Soon, (and yes, the day’s not over yet, I’m barely getting to the second part) dad came over to eat lunch. We walked around Uzupis for a while, then left to eat lunch at home.
After lunch, we parted ways. Kids wrote their blogs, while the parents worked at a coffee shop. Later, we went walking around the city until we returned to the house.
However, we came out once again and we just walked around until mom called to have us meet at their coffee shop to get dinner, aka chachapuri. This is basically a Georgian type of pizza, which is cheese inside dough. Grandma and dad also joined, but later.

After that, we went walking around the city. We went up the hill to the old church that overlooks the entire city, then down to a park that is near the Uzupis. Soon, we had started a long loop around the city, even going as far as the highway that stretches around the city. We even went into a cemetery that we did not know about. Isabella got creeped out by a cat that was “following” us around. I will not go into much detail, but the cemetery is a Polish one that is from a very long time ago, most likely from the Polish/Lithuanian wars.
