Lithuania? I'm coming

Amazing week in Lithuania!








We left Italy full of prejudices, sure that Lithuania was nothing special and it would have been a dull week: we were totally wrong about everything!
Widespread extensions of woods alternated with immense prairies where deers were free to run across: incredibly astonished to watch them!
The fun came through when we arrived in the house where we would have lived for a week with the other participants of the project, an Erasmus+: Portugueses, Latvians and Lithuanians!

Every morning we wandered around Rokiskis, the quiet city were we stayed, full of lovely cottages and ponds in which various species of flying animals swam: from ducks to black swans!
We did much sport ( we also attended local basketball and soccer tournaments), danced every night till early morning, went sailing through enchanting landscapes, took the sauna and then we immediately swam in the ice-cold lake near home: we lived up, we enjoyed every moment as much deeply as possible! Moreover, all the group took part to several workshops about tolerance and cooperation and each country prepared an intercultural evening event.
It was an unforgettable week. We had fun, but also grew up: we have met extraordinary people and now we have a more clear view about the importance of cultural exchanges.
