"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP

The City of Kaunas
Kaunas in Lithuania is a very pleasant city,with parks, many trees and leafy suburbs. There is a confluence of two rivers here and an old town with cobbled streets and fine buildings. Today there was a street market extending for several hundred metres and a religious procession (Catholic) as well as traditional dancing in folk costume. Needless to say I took many photographs. A Welsh exile would have no difficulty in settling in this amenable and congenial environment.
