Our Arrival and Tour of Vilnius

Today we finally arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania. I got to JFK airport around 12:30pm on Wednesday and got to Lithuania at about 4:30pm Thursday after a 5 hour layover in Frankfurt, Germany. Total hours awake? 30 hours. I'm fighting the jet lag as much as possible right now! They told us to stay awake as long as possible tonight so we won't be so messed up for the next week. So far so good but everyone was exhausted!

But once we arrived, we were taken to a nice hotel called the Domus Maria. Then to a nice restaurant for dinner where we had a three course meal. The appetizer was some kind of hard bread with butter and mozzarella cheese. Then the main course was some kind of big fried chicken ball. Dessert was a form of cheese cake pastry. Yum! And finally, there was a tour of Vilnius. There is a lot of history to this capital city involving many historic churches and the influence of Communist Russia. I got about 250 pictures just tonight and had to narrow it down to 20 or so. But tomorrow starts classes and our super busy week! Corporate casual dress for most of the week and more traveling to the next stop in two days. Will post more photos as they come! Keep checking them out.
