Yesterday we decided if Rasa was still stick today we would go get our bus passes without her help. This morning we walked to our school, and it is so cute!! This language barrier has got to be fixed on our part because we're not going to make it for four months by just staring silently at people. We went into two of the classrooms, but the third door was stupid and we could not get it unlocked.
After we checked out the school, we walked to Maxima (that's our grocery store) and bought bus passes! When we finally got on a bus, they did not work... What?? We just stood there and the machine was beeping furiously at us until the bus driver impatiently just waved us away. So... Kinda a free bus ride!
Kaunas is so beautiful. We're living in the suburbs, which I thought were kinda pretty, even though all of it's gray, square buildings. But driving into Old Town, the buildings turned into adorable cottages and gorgeous cathedrals. I'm telling you, add Lithuania to your bucket list. Just do it. I was clutching my purse all day long because I was thinking that pick pockets' would be on the rampage, but actually that's not a big issue. As soon as we got to Old Town, it was like a dream! Every corner you turn is another cobble stone street with a new array of colorful, old buildings.
One thing: European men are very, VERY, open when they check you out. We passed a group of Italian soccer players (I guess they were cute; I got nervous and stared ahead but Cameron got pretty excited and was gushing about how cute they were! haha) and they openly started pointing at us and discussing things between themselves.. Awkward!
We saw Kaunas castle too! Everything here seems so cheap and it's so weird. The castle tour is only 2,50 euros! We were down in the field and Cameron (she's like a model) was swinging a swing attached under a bridge and some more European men stopped and pulled out their phones!!
We decided to go back after that. We were all pretty tired and started to get hungry again. We ate lunch earlier at a little restaurant that kinda reminded me of Zupas. My meal was about 3,50 euros for a hamburger and a bottle of water. I don't know what kind of meat they use here, but it tastes good! Anyways, the buses are numbered according to route, so we knew that either the 34 or the 39 would take us home. We chose the 39, and hopped on. Little did we know that we got on the bus going the wrong direction so we had to go around the full loop of the bus stops! It took us 2+ hours to get home instead of 15 lol. And the driver was so jerky! He literally slammed on the gas and break all the time. It's a miracle we didn't barf. It was so hard not to laugh when people would board! They'd get on, start slowly walking back and then suddenly run to the back because he would peel out! Good times.
Your selfies are so cute!! Lovin' seeing you have so much fun.
