Album:2011:02-05 Vilnius Lithuania
|
|
Then it was off to Vilnius, Lithuania, a place I've wanted to visit and
dance in for a long time. The energy and people there are great, and
I think they're going to be making themselves into one of the capitals
of Swing in Europe soon enough. I didn't think they'd be much interested
in Blues, since they are vintage and fast, but when they found out I
was there they asked me to teach a Blues class. That'll teach me for
making assumptions.

I spot a church,
and find out that it is St Catherine's Church it is thanks to Google Googles. Cool feature. But it must use location info to figure this out. ( comments)
|
..then I notice
some strange dragons in the water pipes. So I google "St Catherine dragons" and find out that she's a protector against dragons. Cool! Interesting to be a high-tech tourist. ( comments)

But then Google Googles fails,
claiming this is the Church of St Teresa, which is nearby and not to dissimilar. Definitely it's using location info. ( comments)
