When I arrived in Klaipeda, my first impressions were darkness and snow. My apartment is in an area of the city called Old Town. As one might expect of an older area of town, the streets are narrow. This winter Klaipeda has received a good deal of snow. My street is impassable.
On January 1, I went for a walk to the end of the main Old Town street. I want to get back to look into a shop that sells local souvenirs, a Chinese restaurant, though I have been told that the Italian one is better. I did see the Christmas tree. I think that, Lithuania is basically Roman Catholic, Russian Orthodox has a presence, so they keep Christmas up longer. I have heard Carols in shops just this past week end.
Old Town is bordered by a canal that is partially frozen at this time of year. I cross the bridge to get to bus stop on my way to school.
