birthday celebration

Today is my birthday as well as two other LCC colleagues. Last night we went out to celebrate at a pizza place that I had been wanting to go to all year! I had been told it was the best pizza in Klaipeda, and I would agree that for Lithuanian pizza, it was the best I've tasted so far. I ordered a pizza with spinach, walnuts, feta and blue cheese. After pizza we went to someone's house to eat cake and talk some more. It was a fun final evening!

trip to Nida

Yesterday I took a trip to Nida, Lithuania with a group of friends (students and faculty from LCC). We took the ferry across to the Curonian Spit, and then took a 45 km bus ride to the other side of the Spit to the town of Nida. There was a beach and some big sand dunes - we enjoyed climbing around on the dunes, taking pictures, walking around the town, and being away from campus for a while.

I leave tomorrow for the States, so I probably won't be posting much over the summer. Thanks for your support and for visiting my blog to keep updated on my life in Lithuania this past year!
