The Baltic States
LITHUANIA, LATVIA, ESTONIA
July 1-July 6, 2000
Lithuania - Vilnius Latvia - Riga Estonia - Tallin
|
Vilnius, Lithuania - One must know how close they are to McDonalds... I guess it builds the anticipation of a Big Mac.
|
The Lithuanian structures are beautiful. |
|
The Hill of Crosses is a very sacred site in Siauliai, Lithuania. There are hundreds of thousands of crosses. The city was founded in 1236. There is also a large jewish star in the middle with a plaque that reads, "Germany is guilty because it destroyed the Jews, but the Lord blesses Israel. The Jews are blessed but the damage stays".
|
Vilnius city square was a great place to sit and people watch.
|
|
I loved the colors and details of the architecture in Riga, Latvia.
|
The shopping was great. (As it always is)
|
|
Tallinn is known for the red roofs, cobblestone streets and medieval houses. |
