After classes on the 14th, we got to the bus station, hopped on and were headed to Kaunas. We got to our hostel, The Monk's Bunk and crashed. I don't think the guy there knew what to do with us - he kept asking what kind of bar we wanted to go to...or maybe a concert? We wanted girl time and sleep. Typical.
The next two days consisted of walking around Old Town, exploring old churches and cobbled side streets. We spent way to much time inside of coffee shops, but I don't think any of us would complain. It was just nice go get away for a little bit.
I think even my unedited, iPhone pictures will capture the few days better than my words will at this point. So here ya go:
Big church? Impressive.
Four girls, just adventurin' to find the hostel late at night. Finally found it in a back alley. Our parents love this, I'm sure.
Breakfast the next morning. Best pastry I've had to date. Had to document.
Books on books on books on the main street.
We couldn't go in this church, but it was massive. And goregeous.
Remaining section of the fortress(?) in Kaunas. There's a river to the right, and the Old Town sits to the left. If you look far left, you'll see part of the church that's captured in the photo below.
Imagine that behind where I'm standing as I'm taking the picture, that there's a huge, sad looking sanctuary. Except, pews line the aisle and colored pictures are hung on the walls.
We saw a WEDDING. For those of you who have been following my Pinterest board, you'll know I've been into those lately. Ring-by-spring am-I-rite.
Cookie shop. Those chocolate ones, front and center left? Yum.
The main walking path, which we spent 99% of our time walking, was great to the directionally challenged (me). Took us straight from this beautiful church to our hostel directly down to Old Town. Dream.

The cutest old man took this picture. No English, but big smiles all around.
