The Republic of Uzupio

Up to now we had only visited two new countries but an unscheduled visit to Uzupio added a third.
Uzupio is located within the city of Vilnius. It has 7000 residents, 1000 of whom are artists and boasts a special constitution that could become a model for our troubled world.

                                                                  Rob at the border.

We kept to the entry rules. We smiled a lot even when it rained, we didn't walk over 20 kph, we loved the art and we didn't drive a car into the river.

                                           Gail couldn't work out how to get onto the swing.

                                                      Rob kept to the speed limit.

                                                                   We smiled a lot.

                                           Gail drank like a local. Prosecco and elderberry.

The small community has lots of street sculptures some that don't meet the G rating for the blog! The community tried to be bohemian but didn't fully convince us. The streets were quiet and people far too normal.

The constitution was especially interesting. It was displayed in 25 languages on mirrors along a wall.
Hard to photograph but will put it on as this is the way to go.

There you go another interesting country.
