Kaunas My first trip to Lithuania, in 1992, went to Kaunas. The Kaunas visits have been few and far between, but I was back in 2005, astonished that not very much had changed. Kaunas has some sort of minority complex from having been deprived of its title as capital, a title worn during the years 1922-1939. Kaunas is nicely situated at the conflux of the mightiest two rivers in the country, Neris and Nemunas and it could become a tourist attraction, just like Vilnius.   A Summer Afternoon in Town We took a spin around town in the summer of 2005 and were astonished there was no street life at all. It was like the whole town was on holiday - only closed cafés. It is strange that the facades look so shabby. Kaunas has a lot of potential.   Mostly about Churches and Religious Events We documented a wedding in the Vytautas Church. It was a splendid Swedish lad marrying a tender Lithuanian maid. Outside the jubilating masses are waiting and the photographers seems never to be satisfied. Other churches, and the city hall, “The White Swan“ are described.   Jurgis Kairys The man without fear, the city’s son Jurgis Kairys, stunt flyer who dares everything, and then some. He is the world champion in aerobatics, and flew upside down under a bridge in Kaunas in 2000. He then continued to fly under all the ten bridges in Vilnius!
