Thanks, srboisvert. I particularly liked the carved wooden image at the bottom of the page, that seems to be in a separate iconic tradition.

Me Not.

Sorry to dissapoint but I am neither American ( I'm Canadian by both birth and disposition) nor Lithuanian (I'm French Canadian- nomative only 'cept the kissing part).

I just thought the pictures were cool.

I'm half-Lit, so, yay!

Missed going to see the hill a few years ago when my family went to the Old Country. Gotta admit, I'm a little flummoxed why this has popped up. I mean...it's been around for a while. Is it a big deal just 'cause someone put photos on the web?

Just saying.

Oh, and I like how one of the text ads says "140+ Vilnius Brides." Wrrowrr...

Basically, yes.

Think of all the cool things out there that arent on the web! I know this since i have unsuccessfully googled for many of them...
