 Thats really cool.  My parents just recently gave me some books with
 pictures on Lithuania.  Thats where my dad is from.  Books have some
 great scenic stuff in it.  My dad has some really cool stories about
 the country and his growing up.  My grandmother who is still alive is
 92.  He's gone over there ever other year for the last few years.  She
 got really sick last year when he went there.  I'm glad he was able to
 be there at that time otherwise he would have been twice as worried if
 he wasn't.  When they broke away from Russia, we heard some of what the
 Russian's pulled.  No heat because of a oil cut off and stuff.  Couple
 years ago his sister came to see us.  Before that she kept telling my
 Dad her country would not like her coming here.  Very interesting.
