Vilinuis - Pink Soup Festival

Well, our luck continues with finding big events by chance! We arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania, just in time for the Pink Soup Festival. One of the national dishes is a beetroot and Kefir cold soup eaten with boiled eggs and potatoes. This soup is being celebrated across the city in a big way. The social media around it is really good and really funny. Like Val Shier, the Mayor of Vilnius, understands that festivals are great for a city’s economy. He has taken part in some hilarious social posts. For instance, the weather is still a little cold to truly enjoy a cold soup! It was great to catch up with Len’s friends, who took us out for a traditional (potato-heavy) Lithuanian meal. I truly appreciated it, as according to Ancestry DNA, I am 1% Lithuanian. LOLRead more
