Culture stuff

(in front of old KGB HQs in Vilnius)

Some observations today:
  • People are colder here, even than in the United States
  • Argentine restaurant on the main stretch
  • Mullets (nice ones)
  • Two people told me that I don't look Lithuanian
  • Two people thought I spoke fluent Lithuanian
  • I get annoyed when large groups of tourists take pictures in Catholic churches while people are trying to pray
  • Catacombs here are very clean and dry
  • They have pastries that look like empanadas in supermarkets
  • They serve maté in coffee shops

Not really the same...the dough was very similar though.

¿El Gaucho Sano restaurant? Hmmmmm. I wonder if the gaucho is sano because he eats Argentine beef, chorizo crillo, chinchulines, etc? So.....they eat empanadas truchas there, huh? Interesting! Bring some back with you in June! I want to find out what they taste like!

The meat in the middle was more of a sausage...
