Linkuva

I'm writing something up on my trip to Linkuva yesterday. Or rather, I'm trying to. I'm now sitting at the little kitchen table in my room, because sitting in the bed and trying to motivate myself to get going wasn't working so well. I hold out no great hopes for today, but we at least have a better shot over here.

Linkuva is the shtetl where my father's mother's mother came from, before coming to the US around 1900. At that time, the town was already about 400 years old.

Here, have a quickie video of us driving into town.
Yes, I know it's shaky. We are coming in a sort of back way, on a bumpy dirt road. I am driving. And shooting the video at the same time on my regular digital camera. Not looking at what I'm filming very much, because, y'know, I'm driving and watching the road.
So yes, I know it's shaky.

And one more town shot, for now:
