3rd day in Lithuania

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! I did. I did have to work on Saturday, but once I got that out of the way, it was much better. Sunday we went to breakfast in the morning and went and ran some errands. In the afternoon we headed off to Pikes Peak International Raceway (PPIR) for the midget car races. The tickets to this were part of the package we won at the Red Ribbon Ball. After the 3 races, which I really enjoyed, there was a Hootie and the Blowfish concert. After that, a large fireworks show. I figured it would be the only chance for us to see fireworks that weekend, so we hung around to watch. By the time we got home, it was midnight.

We got up early the next morning to head off on a motorcycle ride. We hooked up with Glenn and Alexis and headed up to Woodland Park for breakfast at the Donut Mill. Then, from there, we headed north out of Woodland Park. It ended up we went about 130 miles. I hadn't been on the back of the bike since we went to Santa Fe. My behind was feeling quite sore! I have to get in shape before our big ride in September.

We got home around noon and took a nap. We got up and headed off to Sherry and Cady's house for a bar-b-q. It was just a small gathering of friends, but it was a nice time. We ate yummy ribs and watermelon and it was just how the 4th of July should be! We came home about 8:30pm and then Hubby and I watched a movie before heading to bed. What a great 4th of July weekend!!!!

I got up early today, on my day off, to head to my yoga instructor's house. She really works me hard, but it's such a great feeling after. I have about 6 more sessions with her until I am on my own.

Things are pretty much the same here. It's in the low 90's today. I have my day off today and I am going to pick my mom up about 2pm and take her out for some errands.

So, our 3rd day in Lithuania we just kind of checked out old town Lithuania. We had lunch in a neat restaurant in the basement. A lot of the restaurants go into the basement, or the old bomb shelters. It makes for a pretty neat atmosphere. Here are some pictures from around Old Town:







In the afternoon, Eva had to go to get her manicure and to pick up her wedding dress for the next day, leaving Scott, Bob, Hubby and myself to fend for ourselfs. Which wasn't a problem, except Scott took us up to the 3 crosses. Sounds nice, except it was about a million stairs to get up to them. We were worn out by the time we got up to the top. But here are some neat pictures from the top, including the one of me pointing at the hotel we were staying in:







And here are the 3 guys doing the cheesey wave:



And Scott and I in front of their “White House":



That night we found another traditional Lithuanian restaurant and had a nice dinner there. Then it was an early night for all of us, since the next day was going to be a BIG DAY!!!
