Day 20 - 05 July 2018 -Vilnius, LT - Day 3 - Full Day Practice

Today was a full day of practice for the choir so Dan and I went first to the Tolerance Museum which had a large collection of Jewish art along with a few fragments from the former Grand Synagogue which the Nazi's blew up in WWII. From there we walked to the Holocaust Museum and saw more chilling evidence of the atrocities that were committed against the Lithuanian Jewish population.  

Following a nice BBQ ribs lunch, we walked to the main market and then to the Train Museum which is housed in the main train depot. Unfortunately we got there too late to view the outside exhibits, but we were able to see the inside collection. What was particularly fascinating for me was the collection of hand powered hacksaws and drills used to cut and drill railroad track. That's a lot of hand labor!! After we returned late in the day, I somewhat caught up on my YouTube videos before answering a request to have dinner with a choir member who could not stay at the venue all day because of physical limitations. My salad was nice and we enjoyed a fun time together.

Angela got back around 10:30 and we caught up on each other's day.
