This year Bette Sue wanted to see something new for her birthday. We traveled with our friends, Andrius and Silvija, outside of the city of Kaunas. They were our tour guides and historians. This area has the largest river and in the 11th and 12th centuries was lined with castles/fortresses. We drove along the river and stopped to see the original sites of the buildings. Some are completely gone and others (the ones we have pictures of) were rebuilt in the 17th century. Some are open to the public and one is used as a public school for children.
The day was cold but very sunny and we had a wonderful time exploring a new area. It was very pretty.
