Labas vysiems!  Or, hello everybody!

Tomorrow I will travel with my father to Lithuania for a little more than a 
week.  We will tour around the country, see the sights, meet the family.  
I'll be in Lithuanian-language immersion - after all these years of 
half-knowing it, this will be the first time I'll be in an environment where 
that is the primary language.

Sugalvok!

So, what does that have to do with peppers ... I'm not planning on trying to 
take anything through Customs when I go, so I'm gambling that I will be able 
to find something there.  But what will it be?  I suppose there will be 
Tabasco in the stores, and probably good Hungarian paprika, but what if I 
can find some obscure pepper sauce from Belarus or Ukraine or Georgia?  (And 
I don't mean the Peachtree State, I mean "show me 'round those snowy 
mountains way down south" Georgia.)

Maybe there won't be anything.  Maybe I can ditch this office job and become 
Baltic Regional Distributor for Mild to Wild Pepper Company ... yeah (dreams 
on)

I plan on packing up my purchases and mailing them to myself instead of 
trying to carry it all back.  Who knows, I might have some very hard-to-find 
sauces to pass around at Open Fields. (Ugniu Sodas)

I don't know if I will be able to get online, maybe at a relative's house, 
or internet cafe, or library.  I'll be packing two digital cameras, so I 
know I'll have lots of pics.
