CEMETERY:

Cemetery is in woods right off the highway. We (driver and Leon) turned over many gravestones to read them as they were face down. We were Regina Kapilevich (regina@pub.osf.Et) 370-2-342488 Antakalnio 118-48 Vilnius 2040 Lithuania) the wonderful guide who read the inscriptions with the strong and nice driver.
