It Took the Length of an American School Day to Upload These Pics. THIS IS AFRICA!

Well it took nearly 7 hours to upload these pics. Woke up around 3:30am to ensure slightly faster hostel internet speeds. Started the uploading process while reading the last few innings of the O's win over Toronto. Endured some loud Spaniards in our hostel dorm doing their worst impression of a couple trying to have a quiet whisper conversation while rustling around with plastic bags in their skivvies. Waited for others to eat their breakfast and leave the hostel so that upload speeds would again be faster, and here we are. Pictures of Lithuania and Morocco. Perhaps if I wake up early tomorrow I'll try to get some animal pics posted. Hope you enjoy.

Uzupis, Lithuania



Hill of 3 crosses in Vilnius, Lithuania

Vilnius panorama

Inside the Snekutis Bar. We ate virtually every meal in this establishment.


The only Soviet remnants in Vilnius were a set of these 4 statues at the corners of a bridge in town.

Proud of our tagines in our Moroccan cooking class

Our beef tagine with candied pears and orange

The riad where we had our traditional hammam experience.

Pigeon pastilla. A flaky crust stuffed with seasoned pigeon meat and topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon.

Traditional mint tea poured with some flair

Rabat

Lots of food stands like this in all of the souks. Mainly olives here.

The original Arc de Triumphe in Volubulis

Keepin it classy

Chefchaouen panoramic

Pensive

Blue and white walls of Chefchaouen are what make this town distinctive.

I'm terrified

This is what Ramadan and the heat can do to you


The colorful doors outside most establishments gave the medinas some additional eye appeal

Goats in a tree...and also on my head if take a really close look.

  1. So how long does it take either of you to come up with some of the ideas for the funny pictures and or captions. Certainly have some interesting pictures in this batch of pictures. I would have loved the cooking class in Morocco.
