Kernave by Daylight

Well I woke up for food. I was starving when I had arrived, but there was going to be no food until ten am, so I woke up at ten thirty and slowly walked to the food. I found Floh pretty easily, and met a few people while eating breakfast! There was going to be a trip into the town that day after breakfast and I considered going. I decided in my mind that I could only do it if I had a ride because I was awake, but tired.

Thomas was feeling the same way so Falc, Kristina, Floh, and I got a ride into town. Unfortunately I got dizzy in the car and had to hang out there for a while before getting up and going to meet everyone. Floh waited with me, which was really nice :)

We walked through the city (which looked a LOT different in the day when I wasn't lost!) and out to this beautiful area with these big mound hills overlooking a river. I really wish I had brought my camera to this place, because it reminded me of Ireland a lot. It was an old capital of Lithuania. I was very pleased I made it out of the car!




A lot of people stopped at the grocery store on the way back including me for ice cream... then it was back to the camp. I hung out on the grass talking to Jordan for a while until there was a workshop on public speaking. I was one of the people who talked, but I they gave me a topic that could not have been crappier: your neighbors are toasting for their 25th year anniversary. Go." Others had what animal would you be? What special powers? What would you do if you were invisible? All things I could easily rant on about for aaagesss. And I got one about stupid neighbors and toasting. They said if I varied my voice more I might sound more interesting. They liked my hand motions though hehe.





Dinner eventually happened, followed by fires etc. The usual camp stuff. This was different for me since I could not drink due to my antibiotics! Eventually the river-water wooden hot tubs were ready, so again Falc, Kristina, Floh and I went down to the water and enjoyed hot steamy water in a big wooden circle. You could see the stars when the lights were not on. When they were on, they were hung from a big tree that was covered in neckties on the bottom so that was also interesting to look at. I was in there until I was overheating and a family came in too.

It was cold-ish outside but I didn't feel it at all since my whole body was so warmed up by that hot tub! I dried and changed and sat by the fire drying my bathing suit and towel... Id' found a nice little spot near a fire under shelter to sleep at, so eventually that is where I ended up :)
