May 2023 - We met at school a little later today after a very long day yesterday. We have spent the day in the Rumsiskes Open-air Folk Museum, which is one of the largest in Europe. The Museum presents the mode of life, works, and traditions of peasants and townspeople of all Lithuanian ethnographic area around the 19th century. We could visit the inside of farms, and old buildings and vegetable gardens, as well as working mills and forges. We could also wander around the forests, meadows and hills. Furthermore, we discovered the place, taking part in a scavenger hunt full of interesting puzzles to solve exploring the different parts of the site.
For lunch, we had a wonderful barbecue there at the museum. The weather was perfect, so we couldn’t image a more perfect place to spend time with our new Lithuanian and Italian friends, as we spent the afternoon playing games in the wonderful outdoors.
