Panerai. The hole where the people stood on the edge to be shot. They fell into that hole.
Place where the excavated bodies were burned...
Jewish memorial at Panerai.
Lower settlement at Kirtamai.
First house in Kirtimai we went into. It was so cute...
A normal house in the Upper Settlement at Kirtimai.
The Old Franciscan Church, still hasn't been reconstructed since its days as a Soviet paper warehouse.
Glasses and drain in the execution room at the KGB prison...
View of Vilnius from the hill!
The Black Madonna, on the back of one of the remaining gates of the city wall. Its a church too.
The other side of this gate of the city wall is the Black Madonna.
A lot of the cities I went to were a lot higher up then they originally were. Here, we're standing on the now street looking next to the building to where the old street level used to be.
Map on the wall near where the two Jewish Ghettos in Vilnius were... Its a map of the Ghettos.
Jewish memorial stones, near the ghettos. Yes, they're getting their wedding pictures taken there. No, we don't think they knew that the stones had special meaning.
The church square. This church has burned SO many times. Its basically the city center. Gedomingo street is right in front of this building.
Gedomingus Street!
Still the Church Square... the red shows where walls used to stand.
Brand new statue. Its the first and only king of Lithuania.
View of Vilnius from the hill, again :)
Me, and the newer side of Lithuania. (New town, not old town.)
Finicula!
Favorite church from all of my journeys. VERY gothic.
The bridge with all the padlocks! The entire bridge was covered with them. I assume the river is filled with the keys. And I wonder how many people go searching for the keys...
Kernave- the very FIRST capital of Lithuania!
Also Kernave. That was the old capital's church... I think. You can see the hills in the background.
LOOK! Its me and Trakai Castle!!!
Traditional Karite houses. Note the three windows.
Trackai castle! This used to be a moat. The water level has since gone down.
Court yard of the residential bit of the Castle. :)
OH NO! I'm so sad, I was put in the stocks.
Heh... I asked for garlic bread with cheese. I got fried bread that tasted like garlic... And cheese. It just wasn't exactly what I was expecting...
Thats where I jumped into the lake after going in the sauna!!!
Vilnius: View from University Observatory.
I told you the pictures of St. John's Cathedral wouldn't do it justice...
Ceiling of St. John's.
Classmates. In the room where Lithuania declared its independence!!!
Me, hopefully looking stately, in the giant conference room in the Seimas.
Kaunas: former capital. When it was a capital, this is the hotel where all the important people stayed. You could never tell now...
Presidential Palace! I was in there!
There you go!!! Hope you enjoyed that :D
