The Spit

Yesterday I went with a group of students to a land formation called the Curonian Spit. It was really nice to get out of Klaipeda and explore a new town. We took a 10 minute ferry from Klaipeda across the channel. We then took a bus for about an hour to Nida, the last Lithuanian town before reaching Russia. Huge sand dunes have formed due to people cutting down trees in the 1700-1800s. It was extremely sunny out and I could have used some sunglasses. When I returned I was extremely exhausted with a terrible headache. I might have gotten a little sunburn as well. :D I want to return to the Spit when spring gets here. It would be fun to have a pick nick there on the beach.
