One day I brought my own lunch, the Balandele meal (rice/pork wrapped in cabbage leaves, a lithuanian dish) and everyone was curious, asking for a bite. They all loved it!! Afterward they were grilling Viktorija, asking for the recipe.

this is the corner store near Khathi High School, where all the students go during breaks to buy snacks--the most popular is a donut (fried dough ball) with Polony (like SPAM) meat. We opted for the donut without the Polony.

A fire that broke out across the street from our place in Hibberdene. There is no Fire Department in our town and the nearest one is a half hour away and as Arthur put it, "they don't work on the weekends". The fire eventually died out on its own.
