Perfectly Progressive Greetings!
Happily, I seem to be making progress in more than just one way!

Yesterday, I tested another idea that came to mind, of crossing the border from Russia into Lithuania. An internet search didn’t yield any recent information as to whether or not this was possible for someone traveling with a US passport. As it turned out, it was the quickest and easiest border crossing of this trip so far. And, yes, in case you’re wondering, I was the only American on the bus. I still haven’t encountered one since November.
To get from Kaliningrad, Russia to Vilnius, Lithuania was a simple matter of buying a bus ticket and traveling on a gorgeous spring day for a few hours through absolutely beautiful farmland that is just beginning to green up. Of course, there was a stop in the middle to clear customs on both sides of the line.
The adventure continues. Onward!

Unbelievable ! You can go from Russia ( Kaliningrad ) to a NATO Country with no problem on a Bus ?
Not one person here would ever dream that possible
So therefore …it’s Impossible !
🙂
Well, of course it’s impossible! That’s why so few people can do it 😉
Yeah, I was thinking that idea would be DOA, given lingering animosities.
The layout of the Soviet era apartment blocks (7th to last photo – expanded) puts me in mind of a fortress.
It is all very interesting. Here in Canada we have no towns so well established as Kirvosk at that far north latitude.
I doff my furry winter hat to the Russians.
Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
