Skirage:

Right on, the airplane bar was cheesy. Me and a few others could only tolerate one beer there. I't made for a good picture htough and is in my album. As far as the cake goes the hot chocalate gave me my chocalate fix for about 6 years. Man, Olomoucs. It was a nice place.

We were just up in a little corner of Lithuania called Stelmuze, a little past Zarasai (it's the town you'll find on the map). Place is tiny, close to the Latvian border. Gorgeous lake, grocery store that stocks about as much as in Soviet times, but it's also got an old wooden church, the oldest oak tree in Europe (go figure), an old slave prison and a tumbledown stable (from the 1600s or 1700s) that is great for ruin-lovers. It's next to an abandoned Soviet era school, just for contrast. The area was the front between Germany and Russia for all four years of WWI, and though the German cemetary is mostly gone (just three crosses remain - a little historical revisionism during Soviet times, methinks) the trenches remain. We haven't visited them yet - we're going back later this year - but unlike Vimy, where the trenches are so carefully preserved, these have been left and are being reclaimed by nature. We had a great conversation with a local fellow who answered all our zillions of questions and has promised to take us to the trenches when we go back. We're also planning to go for a few days in mid-winter when the lake is frozen, to sleep in the fire-warmed sodyba (dacha) with it's unheated outhouse and heated sauna. Doesn't that sound like the greatest winter getaway?! Hopefully the well won't freeze...

Me and a girl went to the town of Amalfi for a day trip. We were there over the siesta so a lot of things were closed. We went for a walk along the main town road. If you walk on it until the end there is a sign for a lemon garden on the left that you can go into. Just fallow the path along the garden. You eventually reach an old mill and building made out of stone. They were hundreds of years old. There was a stream nearby and beyond that was an old roman bridge. It was really pretty with all the trees around. It was a really nice walk and I only saw a few other people on the trail. It was nice to be away from all the tourists for a few hours.

Your posts about catacombs reminded me that there are some really cool ones in Lima, Peru. They're underneath some of the old spanish churches, and are all full of skulls and bones. The one we went into had a 15' wide pit with bones and skulls piled up 20' deep inside it! Nasty, but soo cool.
