Frimpong in Lithuania - by Aiste Valiute

°°°°°°°°
I had already been to this small, fascinating, Baltic country.
But it could not be considered a real visit.
Actually I had only followed my Russian host and his family for a short holiday by the seaside.
Since then I had always wished to know Lithuania better
and when I received an invitation from Aiste, a real Lithuanian,
I thought my opportunity had come and I had not to miss it!
So I’m back to Lithuania now.
Aiste and her family and friends have offered me the warmest hospitality so far
and I’m ready to share with you my new adventures
and all what I can learn about Lithuanian history and life style!
