A Look at Where I'm at in Vilnius

Here are a couple of photos of my room in the attic. Aside from that one blind by my bed I cannot close, the room is very comfortable. It gets cold, though, at night and early in the morning - the temperature these days ranges between 15 - 5 C. Going to bed and taking a shower is starting to be a relatively painful affair. It's been over 10 years since I've lived in a place where there are bad winters (the state of Iowa in the U.S.A being the last). I need to grow back my winter skin. The sun has been out for the last two days, but before that it was mostly a rainy affair. On the round table, sitting out in the cold, is the breakfast of champions: sausage, cheese, apples, bread and honey. 

The photo where the walls are painted with graffiti shows the street my bed and breakfast is on. Graffiti in Vilnius seems to be as prevalent as historical sights. You'll see it on derelict buildings, parks, modern buildings and even on churches. Hardly Banksy, the style of graffiti is more from the 'hood'. The fellow who picked me up from the airport shrugged his shoulders when I asked him about all the graffiti. Sometime back, he said, the government sent people to paint over the graffiti on that wall (the one in my picture). But a few days later the wall got defaced again. Even the vacancy sign outside the B&B I'm staying in got sprayed one night!
