Klaipeda, Lithuania


Klaipeda is a small port town in Lithuania. This is the main square in the town and there was a folk group singing. We went to an Amber museum and learn all about amber which is very popular in this part of the world. Amber is really tree resin and is millions of years old and comes in yellow, orange, brown and even green. Our tour guide took us to a local pub to have some locally brewed beer. I'm not much into beer but Steve said it was very good.

  2. Did they tell you that the best amber has the most bugs in it??? and ... you can test your amber to tell if it's the real deal by rubbing two pieces of amber together ... if it's real it will smell like you just lit a match. I used to test it all the time in Saudi Arabia
