Awesome, no?

Ya, so I pretty much scored with this husband of mine. Of course, he feels the same way. But, to topic at hand- Surprise date night to:
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
or in Lithuanian,
Svynis Todas: Demonas kirpÄ—jas




To fully explain, it was in the good ol' English language, with Lithuanian subtitles. So, I was able to fully enjoy the show. And, enjoy we did. It was absolutely fabulous!

From Russia with Love

The first question was always..."Why are you here in the winter?" Of course, when opportunity arises you must take it- unfortunately mine arose in the middle of winter! Still the adventure of a lifetime as I not only got to see Moscow and some of it's most famous sites, but I also had the unfathomable chance to experience Russian village life. Where the homes only have freezing cold water available, where the toilet is an outhouse outside, where you take a bath once a week at the community bathhouse (yep! I got naked (women only!) with the best (and worst) of them!), and where the people give the best of everything they have to a guest. I had a most wonderful time and have promised myself to experience Russia next time under much more inviting weather conditions.

Russia, civilized and far from, in no particular order...
