So after a tougher time in Minsk, we were pumped to arrive in Vilnius. Michael called Vilnius a better city. I would agree, but really it was just worlds more Western than Minsk. Everyone spoke English, signs were in English and you would have thought it was a college town with all the bars and restaurants on each street.
Note – it is technically a college town since there is a university that we had to walk through to get to the center of town. But it is also the capital of the country so nothing we should be calling simply a college town.
The streets were cutesy and they had bands playing in the center square. 
We liked the town a lot, but really all we did for those 24 hours was wander around and watch World Cup games. The real star to this city is not the people or the streets or the sights. It is this gem right here:
An Ode to the Comfort Hotel:
When Michael told me we were staying at the Comfort Hotel, I thought nothing of it. As we wandered up to this place, both of us looked at each other and laughed a bit. It was a Comfort Inn! A little something to make us feel at home.
Now, this was no ordinary Comfort Inn. It is the Vilnius Rock ‘n Roll Comfort Hotel. And this place was awesome. The reception was called “barception” and you could get a beer while checking in. Now that may seem hokey, but there was a line of people waiting for beers and the restaurant area was packed with people hanging out at the Comfort Hotel.
The barception was not what made the hotel awesome, though. It was the signage.
And that was just the start.
Get it? Who tall are you?
And the signs in the room were just as good.
This sign was especially relevant as I spent the majority of my shower disproving it by singing MU330, “Hoosier Love” quietly, after seeing a post about it on facebook.
The signage in the dining room was just as great
So that’s about it for Lithuania. It was easy, fast and really enjoyable… but a good portion of this enjoyment was due to our awesome hotel.
That hotel looks awesome!
