pretty bridge at night
Once we got to Kaunas, Ieva showed me around a bit. We ate pizza at a restaurant, the one I ordered was called "Mexicana". I about died when I first took a bite, it was SO spicy hot. Ieva smiled & told me that when Lithuanians want something hot, they like it HOT. I told her I was pretty well versed in spicy foods, but this pizza wasn't even really pleasurable to eat. She said she ordered the Mexicana many times, so we swapped a few slices. After her first bite, she started drinking some of the sauces on the table to cool her mouth down (oh, by the way, when you order pizza in central Europe, there will be extra sauces on the table to poor on top of it). Apparently the Mexicana was not made as normal that day & neither of us felt quite right for the rest of the night. Our theory ... Ukraine was in a very close match with Italy, probably one of the cooks was so enthralled with the match that he didn't notice what he was doing. :D Ahh, well, anyway, great memories.
