a quickie in lithi.

hey all,
quick update- from poland, am now in lithuania. poland was surprisingly fun, it broke down my preconceptions of it. warsaw is, for example, no longer the post-WW2 bombed city i had imagined, it's a vibrant bustling city, with photos of the pope everywhere, as in the rest of poland, cuz it was the anniversary of his death a few days ago. everywhere u go, there's the pope's image. we did go to a lot of jewish heritage sites, that was sobering. but then we also stalked a trio of guards from the presidential palace to their barracks down the street. it was a good thing we didn't get bayoneted.

in vilnius, the capital of lithuania now. it's a pretty city, pretty wealthy, judging from the brand name shops lining the streets. we're talking couture here. roberto cavalli, the whole she-bang. hillier and more interesting than poland, i think i'll like lithuania!

on to the coast of lithuania, beautiful scenery, and then to riga and back to london, before going off to spain. i'm so excited, zara's summer collection is so awesome and i've heard it's cheaper in spain. of course, i'm looking forward to seeing the country itself, really i am!!!

over and out.
