Whirlwind Tour of Lithuania

My parents originally said that they wanted a relaxing trip to Lithuania, so I planned an easy schedule.  After they arrived, they decided that they should see as much as possible in the eight days they were in Lithuania.  We had a whirlwind trip and saw everything from villages to the Baltic Sea coast, plus two days each in Vilnius and Kaunas — and, of course, the castle at Trakai and the ethnographic museum at Rumšiškės.  We had a great visit together and a lot of fun exploring on foot, by train, and by car.  I was too exhausted at the end of each day to write blog posts!

They left this morning for part two of their European vacation — a week in Spain visiting Menorca and Barcelona.  Fortunately the volcanic ash cloud didn’t disrupt their flights.  I’ll post photos from our adventures over the next several days.
