We are very happy. We only found out a couple years ago that it was now possible for her to be a dual citizen - Australia / US. That was not possible when we were married.
With Covid, it's been a long process, finally completed today about 9:45AM.
Jonas, I hope that I am not out of place to ask this.
Will Virginija then be a citizen of 3 countries, including Lithuania?
Yes, she will - a very strange situation, but the restoration of Lithuanian citizenship was certainly her right, as it was forcibly taken from her parents. Australia and US do allow dual in most circumstances now (her situation included).
We found that out from an immigration officer on the way back from Canada a couple of years ago. The officer asked: "You've been in the US for 25 years? Why not be a dual citizen?". We answered: "You can do that???"
As long as the 3 don't go to war with each other, we're good.
Next time we see you, we can get into some interesting details.
(I'm just waiting for the next international trip: "So which passport should I use?? " We'll feel like spies... LOL )
Some from our trip. Was pretty interesting to see some of the historical reenactments. Williamsburg, unfortunately is just getting back to speed from Covid, and isn't fully staffed. Many of the artisans and crafters weren't there so only a limited number of the buildings were open. As always, some of the interpreters were better than others. Jamestown and Yorktown were predominantly drive through and walk through self-guided tours.
Got two rounds of golf in during the week.
The two pictures of the boy dressed up has a story. We were doing the self guided tour at Yorktown. Parents and two kids, Nicky is shown here. Nicky is walking around the cemetery placing pennies on the gravemarkers. Cindy asks if its OK to take some pics. Yep. At the next stop, they're with us again, this time, Nicky has his jacket on and he's making sure the cannons are all in order. Gun, appropriately a gun - shoots a shell at something, not a bomb, on something. There was a picture like this in our unit, tried to recreate it. Steps looking down the street. Was at Yorktown Cemetery on Memorial Day. Most of the soldiers here were Civil War era. French grave marker outside of Yorktown. At the Museum of the American Revolution, we caught the Fife and Drum show by a group of local youth. Drum major holds the staff high and drops it, then catches it after. My camera shoots 10 frames /second. the frame before this he has not touched the fuse yet, the one after, almost the entire shot is smoke. That's how fast it ignites! Blacksmith in Jamestown working on nails. Palace at Williamsburg, Sword display. Some local Amish fishing at Conawingo Dam.
Love the little boys fishing! What was the reason for the pennies on the graves?
We were at the river the other day. There were baby goslings, and these cute ducklings. Baby mallards. I adjusted the F stop hoping to get them all in focus, but at F11 and using the zoom lens, still didn't quite get what I was hoping for. They were moving and I didn't have a chance for another shot. Still cute though. The goslings were just swimming along. Mama or Papa goose has his/her wings full.
Better weather yesterday. Took off to RI. Stopped at the "Green Animals" topiary and gardens, and one of the mansions. "The Breakers."
Took this shot of the Breakers with the wide angle. You can see the distortion, but I kind of like the shot. I have no plans for it, nor do I know how to fix it, so I'll just add it to the ever expanding photo collection.
