Visits with school kids



Florence, Edouard, and their Macedonian fellow volunteer Aco spent half a day with school kids, dancing with them before visiting some marvels of Aukstaitija National Park, participating that way in their growing knowledge of their close environment.

  



The beekeeping museum



 

Welcome to the "bitinintystes muziejus"!



Beekeepers had to find tricks
against bears trying to steal honey

 

It is possible to try some "museum-made" honey here!
Did you know that it takes a whole day for 200 bees to gather one spoon of honey?



We admired many wooden carvings



 

From the top of... Ladakalnis Hill





After the museum, we enjoyed the beautiful view
from the top of the 175 m high Ladakalnis Hill



 


This sacred place used to serve as the site
of pagan sacrifices to the Goddess Lada,
the Great Mother who gave birth to the world.
Today, people still offer a bit of money,
on the foot of this oak tree
