I woke up stupidly early for some reason, after just a few hours of sleep. After getting ready for the day, Clair and I were the first ones down for breakfast. It was the same kind of buffet breakfast as before with herring, pastries and sausage. They had yogurt as well, which was nice. They also had some weird potato balls that I of course had to try.

Right after breakfast we had our walking tour. For all the walk I'd been doing, my feet were feeling pretty good. Once again, we split up into two groups. We walked past the Presidential Palace to go look at their University before walking to the Square again.

What we hadn't noticed, or knew about, yesterday was that out in front of the square is a special tile that is supposed to grant wishes. All you have to do is make your wish and spin around three times on top of it with your eyes closed. Almost everyone tried it. We went inside the church again and looked at the Chapel of St. Casimir that hadn't been open yesterday. We also took a look at the big statue of Gediminas.

From there we headed down the 'oldest street in the city' - the cobblestone street that had the flea market Cosette and I went into the night before. We headed down a back alley we hadn't seen before that had teapots melded into the wall. I thought that was spectacularly cool, especially with the morning light hitting them so they cast longer shadows on the wall.

We walked all the down to the Church of St. Anne, took a couple pictures in front of the church as a group. Then walked past another church and down a side street again to stop in an Amber Museum. The stairs to get downstairs were cut into the rock and pretty narrow.

Downstairs in the museum though was really neat. It was an old excavation site where people would dig up amber. And of course, it had walls full of different types of amber. I didn't know there were different colours of amber before then. They had white and blue and green. And they even had little lights to shine through a couple pieces so you could see the bugs that were trapped inside. All in all, it was a pretty neat thing to see.

We ended up back at the main square and were then given lunch time free. We found Cosette, who'd been with the other group, and although most of the girls just wanted to hit the mall and grab frozen yogurt and fast food, I suggested we go out for a traditional meal at a place our tour guide had suggested. We found the restaurant and seated ourselves in a cute little booth place that was secluded in its own room. Our group consisted of Johanna, Sophia, Cosette, Amy, Taylor and Veronkia.

And in true European fashion, we had to pay for water, even though it was lemon-limed. It had a lot of citrus bits in it that you had to smack out of the bottles to eat because they were so big. Besides water, I also ordered a smoothie of peach juice and icecream. We all went pretty traditional for our meals. We all pretty much ordered Zepplin-type things. It's a traditional Lithuanian meal. It's essentially mashed up potato packed around meat that's then fried in bacon fat. It had a little dipping thing on the side that was bacon fat and sour cream. Talk about a hearty meal. I could only eat half. But it ended up being super cheap!

Afterwards we decided to look at a souvenir stand right across from the restaurant where I got a magnet. We walked again for a bit, meeting Clair and Lynnea on the way. We took a look at some of the little market stalls that were on the side of the road. Eventually everyone was hot enough, despite stopping in a little convenience store to pick up several bottles of water, that they just wanted to head back to the hotel.

Veronika was nice enough that she wanted to go with me to go look at an art gallery Lynnea had suggested to us. In the gallery there was this beautiful lemon picture I really wanted to buy, but it was super expensive. The entire place was mostly landscapes and still life's, but in one of the upstairs rooms there was a mostly nude dude painting that surprised both Veronika and I enough that we ended up laughing about it for a while. I ended up just getting a little painted card.
