enjoying last minutes of this strange light. the water is cold, believe me; and worse than North Sea !

Klaipeida-NIDA sea, snow and wind (part 3)

Last day : walk through dead dunes. The bus driver stopped in the middle of nowhere to let us go out and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

but maybe 5 mn after the bus left, snow !

anyway, this place is amazing

and people there too ;)

desert, forest, sea and snow ...

no other conclusion : I love Lithuania

CRAZY forest (Labanoras)

Two weeks ago : little trip to the forest with printing teacher, former silk-screen printing teacher, girlfriend, 2 french erasmus students and me

this is the place

we were 6 persons and 4 of them were bathing (and drinking vodka)

key words : fire, vodka, synthesizer or mobile phone very loud, barbecue, snow, bathing, eating, drinkink, cutting wood ...

lithuanian TAPESTRY (gobelinas)

today, in textile department, I've been told that now i'm "ready to work" and all those technical exercices are over...

I don't know why but I suddenly answered : "I think I prefer tapestry than weaving". So next work will be on this kind of frame

-huh-

anyway : I'm here for one year (and the model is good company)

RIGA je reviendraaa (part 1)

Two weeks ago, we had a longer week-end so we went a little bit further : Riga, Latvia's capitale. A lot of russians, a lot of germans, a lot of frenches.

-arrival-

Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten. German present, maybe because of the past of the town : Riga was a member of the Hanseatic League.

-if you want more- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Musicians_of_Bremen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanseatic_League

Inhabitant, sells woolen socks, hats and so on. Speaks german with a nice kind of austrian accent "ich habe velschiiiidene glüüüne"

we did a lot of breaks in nice places like this one.

guess why

yes

nevertheless, the next day, our german guide Peter (friend of a friend : Chris, german, studies law in Vilnius) offered us a tour round main places. WET COLD NICE

architectural bug

RIGA je reviendraaa (part 2)

one more bug

-last day-

the market : outside + 3 huge halls. They were built for zepelins

1 : meat and cold cuts

2 : "bakery"

3 : fishes and sea food

little walk round the center. Topic ? Art Nouveau !

We took advantage of the nice weather :)

and at the very end, just before leaving, guess who we met ? Riga's legend :) If you go there, you'll surely hear about her. She goes from place to place, switches on the music and dances -always the same steps-
