Im in Lithuania-ville and the Drunk Taxi Driver is the mayor!

Ah yes, one of my favorite quotes... an Ace Ventura quote from Ace Ventura Pet Detective. He is by far one of my favorite people in the whole wide world and I quote him constantly, just ask Andrew and Lukkes...I felt that I needed to title this blog with a little humor in a tribute to our quest through Lithuania which was extremely comical...I can say that now because its over, but it was quite terrifying. Mom, you are always telling me to make good choices and I made an innocent choice that good have turned out very very very badly for me and my boys...

In Kaunas, Lithuania they have what they call "Micro Buses". Basically, they have taken an old minivan, completely gutted it out and put 3 or 4 rows of metal seats in the back and called a taxi. It only costs 2.50 Lahti (which is the currency in Lithuania) and you can go where ever you want. We flagged down this "Micro Bus" and handed the man our money and sat in the back...first off, the people of beautiful Kaunas do not speak a lick of english, and of course he asked us in Lithuanian where we wanted to go? I think? or so thats what we thought, we said "Mega," which is this big famous mall jsut outside of downtown (ya it was raining cats and dogs, and we figured we could do some shopping for the relatives...ya you're welcome). He surprisingly understood us and we were off!

And I do mean off! We were swriving through traffic and going around 80 km/hr through downtown...Im thinking, did we get in the wrong Micro Bus? you bet we did...It didn't take long until my wondering, curious eyes, fell upon a half empty bottle of liquor resting in the door pocket of the drivers door....uh oh. I quickly nudged Lukkes and pointed to the bottle...He looked at me and then looked at Andrew and I said, "Hang on boys! It's going to be a bumpy ride..."

After running at least 3 red lights, cutting 7 people off, almost running over poor little grannie in her babooshka, and seriously 3 minutes later...we arrived at our destination.

Once we had conluded our shopping (you're welcome again whoever you are...) we walked outside and saw a Micro Bus in the distance, we flagged it down deciding to give this type of transportation another shot and who do you think the driver was?

Im here and healthy and pumped for the Roosters game this Sunday (THE 4TH OF JULY!!!) so you can make your own conclusions...

Perez....OUT!
