Miriam's visit part 2


The last two days Miriam was here, we spent in Klaipeda. We packed our days full once again, and had lots of fun eating Lithuanian food, exploring the beach, and souvenir shopping. The last evening was spent with my RAs at our regular team meeting. Afterwards we went to bake cookies for and play games with one floor in Enns. I think Miriam got a good taste of where I live and the work I do here at LCC. It was really fun having her here!!!!


One day we took the ferry across to the Curonian Spit

It was cold, but fun!

The last day we got up EARLY and took the bus to 
Olando Kepure (the Dutchman's cap) 

The origin of the name can be rather simply explained: the contours of the shoreline are reminiscent of a Dutch-style cap. Some citizens of KlaipÄ—da have a slightly different story: many years ago along at this location along the Baltic coast, a blue and red pompon Dutch sailor’s cap washed-up on shore, and from that time on this name stuck to this terrain.

I love these pictures - the clouds were so awesome!!!!

Pondering life

We also explored Klaipeda

And ate traditional Lithuanian food: potato pancakes
