Trip to trakai

We went to this lakefront town to visit the 14th century castle.  Also passed the Lithuania Olympics rowing team headquarters (that explained the huge tanned men walking around in tank tops); tried not to get run over by the bicycle portion of a triathlon; saw the greenhouses that every house has to use to get tomatoes to grow to maturity; visited the Karaite museum (an old Jewish offshoot); and had traditional Lithuanian liqueur.  Oh, and I learned to use a crossbow in the castle.
