Day #21 (May 24)--Coming Home!

(Yesterday)
This is the breakfast buffet at the Ratonda Centrum Hotel. In all of the places we've been, they've always had "better" breakfasts ("Better" in some places means better for you, but not better tasting; and in other places, it means better for you and better tasting.)

Gediminas Tower, the last remaining tower of Gediminas Castle. Gediminas was the Grand Duke of Lithuania in the early 1300s.

On the plane home, flying over Lake Michigan. I got a window seat!! (Last time I was in the center of the plane)

Things we missed:
>Eating sugary cereal for breakfast
>Making our own salads
>Sleeping in our own beds
>Clean public toilets

This was definitely a trip worth taking. I liked trying to speak and understand the Russian language, and experiencing the different cultures in the four countries. Moscow is huge, Tallinn is medieval-ish, Riga is beautiful, and Vilnius has an interesting history.
