Hello Kristina,

Oh how I wish I could be in the forest in Nida, the sand dunes, the reed sculptures, climb the Parnidis Dune, explore the dead dunes, and walk the Baltic Beach every night, and live in one of those wood cabins nearby. Ah what a life!! I can imagine how very much you miss the  totems of the Curonian Spit.

I am imagining myself on the beautiful Baltic Beach, in Nida, Klaipeda, Palanga. I read a good deal about Lithunia, about Nida, about the peaceful beaches in October. They say, ‘Once October hits, Palanga turns into a ghost town. The streets are peaceful and the beach is empty. This is the time to truly appreciate the seaside, sit peacefully on the beach and watch the Baltic Sea. It’s the time to wander the streets and discover how beautiful and sleek they are.”  There I will be even if its only in my dreams.

Thank you for the youtube documentary of Marija Gimbutas. I have watched quite a few on her life and loved them so very much.

Many thanks
