Today was pretty sweet. After another breakfast of cheese, meat, and bread, and a devotion lead by Dr. LaFrance (talked about integrity and mentioned various examples in the Bible), we headed off the President's Palace (he doesn't work there, but lives there). We had a guided tour and learned about some of the ways the current president has impacted Lithuania's foreign policy. After that we took a brief tour through two cathedrals then went to Trakai castle, which was pretty sweet. After lunch (chicken and rice) we had a 3+hr drive to Klaipeda, where we currently are. it is almost 10pm but it literally looks like it could be 7pm out (it isn't really dark at all). Unfortunately the weather has been pretty cold and raining the last few days but it makes sense because we just found out that Lithuania means "rain".

We are going to be here in Klaipeda for the next few days and I am in a quad rooming with a guy from Mt. Vernon Nazarene in Ohio, another guy from Biola, and a guy from Eastern Mennonite University in Virgina. All pretty cool dudes.

Since this is a university campus, they do have a bball court and a weight room, and although they are closed tonight, looking forward to being active the next few days. alright, i'm off, got to go read some economics, oh so exciting. later.
