  • Country Walkers Itinerary

    Country Walkers Itinerary

    countrywalkers.com 800.234.6900 Lithuania & Latvia: Vilnius to Riga Flight + Tour Combo Itinerary Sea, sky, and sand: the universe is reduced to three elements as you survey the Bay of Amber and the 60-mile sweep of dunes at Curonian Spit. Whistling winds, waving grasses, and a boardwalk that leads to what feels like the world’s edge—a landscape you never imagined. Then again, you’re learning to expect the unexpected in Lithuania. Fascinating folk traditions and indelible sights fill each day’s walk, from the legend-inspired woodcarvings on Witches’ Hill to Trakai’s red-sandstone island castle. Yesterday a farm-to-table lunch near a Bronze Age hillfort, today the chance to craft your own amulet from native amber at a local jeweler’s gallery. Across the border, Latvia awaits: scenic wetlands, country palaces, and Saturday’s chef-led tour through the converted zeppelin hangars of Riga’s food market. When you’re hiking in the Baltics, every step reveals new horizons.

It does seem hardly anytime ago that it was the subject of a hot debate regarding traffic flow over it. Anyway, the river still flows downstream, and the picture shows the downstream view. Printed on Recycled Paper 2 Chairman’s remarks So, we come towards the end of another successful U3A year. Saturday’s morning talk, and this newsletter, are the last of the 2018-19 session before we gear up to start again in September. The success of any U3A year, and the ‘gearing up’ process before the next one begins – the membership renewals process involves a great deal of work on the part of a team of office volunteers, and our Membership Secretary in particular – depend entirely on the willingness and commitment of the different teams of volunteers who make it all possible. So, it is appropriate for my open remark to be a heartfelt ‘Thank you’ to all those of you who volunteer in any capacity and thereby keep our branch running.
