Vilnius, Lithuania- 1st Visit

Vilnius Lithuania is probably my favorite foreign city in the world (so far). The first time I was there I stayed in Old Town Vilnius at a Jesuit Residence called St. Casmir. Vilnius has a lot of charm and is the most modernized town in Lithuania. The town has all the things you would expect to find in Europe. Buildings older than our country, cobble stone streets, sidewalk vendors, churches on every corner, ect....

We spent the majority of our time looking at churches.

Vilnius is also where I experienced two of my favorite things in the world....Kalnapilis (worlds best beer) and Kepta Duona (best beer food)

It was also in Vilnius that I experienced the worst thing in the world...White Nights!!!....For those of you who have never experienced this, it is what happens when you visit a place far enough north where the Sun does not set or only set for an hour or so. Imagine trying to sleep in a room with a sun roof where the sun is still shinning at midnight.....very hard to get used to!
