District Conference Day!
We met in Vilnius to organize for the one hour drive to Kaunas and the Conference. We arrived at Hotel Royale in time for lunch. While the conference participants started their lunch, we quickly set up our presentation and put our favors (Snyders pretzel and snack bags) on their chairs. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and went up for last minute instructions before our presentation. The presentation went well and we received positive comments about it from several participants.
After the presentation, the ladies on the Team and some of our hosts went downtown to see what shops might be open. They say some historical sights and took some great photos. The conference was well organized and run. Many of the slides were in English so I could follow the gist of what was going on.
On to dinner at 6:00 pm with live music. By chance, we ran into a Foreign Exchange Student from Jacksonville, Fl. She was so excited to speak to Americans that we invited her to join us for dinner. She'll be going home in 3 months but has had a really good experience in Lithuania.
After dinner we left for the Castle at Krakai - a beautiful old castle in the middle of a lake. It is pictured on almost all PR materials from Lithuania. It is beautiful! We were even able to get a few night photos to turn out! The mosquitoes and late hour forced us to leave for our host homes.
On to the airport tomorrow and home. Saying goodbye will be a little sad for us.
