Off to explore a few more places

Probably our last international trip of the year together, before the Family Season commences in November and December. This year, we are expecting three dogs and four young adults to join us at home! But first, there are a few European cities to explore for these two old adults…

Early morning stroll in Vilnius

Every time I come to Lithuania, I stay in Kaunas. This time I stayed in Vilnius. That too in Old Town. Like most of the European Old Towns, this had all the essential parts – city hall, the town square, cobble stone roads, restaurants on the streets where people were either drinking coffee or beer. This is the one part of European smaller towns that I absolutely enjoy.

Portal into other places

Saw something unique in downtown Vilnius. Apparently, there is a company called Portals.org that has installed these Portals that basically give you a view into other cities. That scene you are seeing in the circular screen is from a portal in Lublin, Poland. From their website, looks like they have so far installed similar ones in Philadelphia, Dublin (Ireland) and Piaui (Brazil).

Was pretty cool to wave at people on another end of the world…
