I've emptied my camera of pictures, so here are some for context:

These are the stairs to our apartment. They vary in steepness, width, and height. Also, there's no light until the top floor, which makes coming home after dark potentially difficult for some of us.

While much has been lamented over the lack of air conditioning in Lithuania, our apartment does have the fabled machine. It's pretty amazing, and it's maybe one of two in the whole country, it seems (I saw another one in an ice cream shop). I have to dump out a tray full of water every few hours. The hose goes out through our window:




Here is our street, Stikliu Gatve:

This street above is actually Dijoiji (not sure on the spelling, lots of i's and j's...but it's pronounced like 'de-joy'), and it's a main street in the old town where people constantly loop back and forth. The souvenier shops (souvenerai) all sell amber trinkets and linen. Those are the main souvenierai to be found in Lithuania.
More later--our internet has been spotty at best!
