Live from Lithuania

Finally got a reliable Internet connection in Lithuania after no luck on board the ship we are sailing. I am a few days into the trip now and have been through Copenhagen, Poland, and now Lithuania. Tomorrow we head to Riga, Latvia, which is supposed to be great. So far the highlight has been Copenhagen but it is not really fair to compare the other Baltic states since history, and especially the Russians, have not treated them well.

Nothing major to report yet as most of our time has been spent on board the ship either eating, drinking, or singing show tunes by the piano. When we docked in Poland we did have the former Polish President, Lech Walesa, come on board for a brief discussion on the future of democracy both in Poland and throughout the world.

More later when I have a better connection. Enjoy some new flickr sets:
