Well, we finally arrived in Warsaw. We were excited to leave Lithuania. I know that sounds bad but just wasn't our kind of place. We had an excruciating 15hr train ride from central Lithuania to Warsaw. As previously stated, the trains are not the most efficient in this part of Europe. However, the only bus alternative would have been much worse. Today is absolutely perfect. A traveler's dream. Slept in a little bit and woke up to sunshine (Not snoring, bags zipping, or people talking on cell phones). We visited the Warsaw uprising museum this morning. It was very powerful as the entire museum was set up like you were participating in the resistance. The prices of everything are remarkably low. Had peirogies last night and this afternoon. Might be hooked for life. Plus an order of the little buggers only runs about $1.10. Just our kind of budget. Tomorrow we head for Krakow and will probably visit Auschwitz while there. From there we will spend a couple days in Wroclaw before heading to much anticipated PRAGUE! We are way overdue on some pics so will get right to it. Nostrovya!
Hanging out in the Sauna; because in Finland everyone has a Sauna in their home. Luckily (sarcasm) it was only 87 degrees celcius. For the math wizards that = really frickin hot!
This is as close as we came to aub's relatives near Halsua. This statue is in Kokkola but haven't had time to research who the gentleman is.
Aubree is having a great time in Stockholm. I think the horse might be having a good time too!
Aubree only did this because we made a bet. She lost and now you get to view the photo. Ah, it is so much fun winning bets. 
Hazen has played with cannons in nearly every country we have visited. This one is on an island in the harbor of Helsinki. This is by far the biggest one we have seen. Thought about crawling in but probably nothing good could have come from that.
AHHH, Medeival Tallin. Great preserved old town. Bit touristy (Scandinavians & Germans) but had a great time otherwise. 
Aubree, Warrior Princess!
Kinda looks like Orlando Bloom, I think!
Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland. Most Polish people do not like this building at all. As the Soviets were leaving, they gave the people of Poland the option of a building or a metro system. They chose the building and now they are stuck with a Leninesque building in the heart of the city. Not what they had in mind I think.
Why not see a Dolphin show while in Lithuania. Pretty fun and basically the only thing to do in town. 
Photo op of the Opera house in Riga, Latvia.
Parnu, Estonia history. This is a statue of Lenin that the town has not figured out what to do with yet. Can't blow it up (which is what they planned) because Russia would be pissed. Don't want it in their town so they just tossed a tarp over it and hung a sign on it stating "banned history". This is some serious history. Stuff you can feel in the air. 
This is the place in Parnu that we "scored". Our room is the four windows on the left. Luckily none of our windows were broken. Somehow we managed to get some sleep here. Quite the interesting place. We will just say it had character.
Back to Warsaw where Aub is chilling in front of the Royal Palace. It is situated in the entrance to the "old town". Not very old because it was completely rebuilt after being destroyed during WWII.
