Baltic Capitals-Lithuania episode 8 part c

Due to the moisture falling from the air, we were lucky to have a talk from a 91 year old survivor of the 300.000 Lithuanian deportation ordered by the Soviets to the merciless inhumanity of Siberia from 1945-1953. Only about 60,000 managed to return to Lithuania. Similar deportations happened in Latvia and Estonia. Our speaker was the most vivacious 91 year old. If we could have even half of her spunkyness near that age. What an inspiration.
Lunch stop at Magde. Yum yum yum. Our host restaurant owner treated us to home grown vegetables, soup, and potato pancakes with chicken stuffing. Yummy
On to Klaipeda.
