I bumped into someone today. A prize for anyone who guesses who.
I have never seen so many people getting married as today. It seems that the entire city has fallen in love and wants to tie the knot. Today was a good day. Lots of pottering and sight seeing. Villnius to me feels very slightly like a cross between Warsaw and Lisbon. Although in the centre and old town it seems that all traces of it's communist past are now gone. Until that is one climbs the tree covered hill that leads to the TV Tower. There it is a different story and communist era tower blocks, subways and graffiti abound. It could almost be another city, the old town that foreigners see and the rest of Villnius that is hiding behind a hill.
