Changes in the plan
The plan was to go to Croatia, as I mentioned.  I bought the tickets and would need to go to Bremen Germany first for two nights before I could continue on with a second flight to Zadar, Croatia.  Around the time of my last weekend in Lithuania though, I started to have some health problems strange enough that I got them checked out at a Lithuanian doctor.  Nothing was found thankfully and I was given some antibiotics a day before I was leaving for Germany.  Well, I went to Bremen toured the city while I was waiting for my next flight, which as I said would be in 2 days.  The morning of the day that I had my flight to Germany, my last day that my tourist visa was good for, my health problem showed up again.  I normally do not make hasty decisions, but by the time I took the tram to the airport, I already knew I would purposely miss the flight.  I just went straight to the other side of the track and waited for a return tram to the city.  There I bought some tea, ate a frankfurter, and bought the next ticket to Spain where at least I could speak the language.  I mean in Croatia,  I not only knew no one, (well actually I met some very kind people in Bremen who were going to help me out) but I could not speak the language.  25 hours later after going through Cologne and Brussels and Paris, I made it to Spain, from where I am writing to you now.  I feel fine and serious causes have been ruled out, so things are looking good.  It will be at least a week though before we figure out what exactly is going on.  I have very kind friends who are taking care of me.  So no need to worry, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am not in Lithuania nor Croatia.  I am just relaxing, and enjoying the hot sun, which was not present in Lithuania.
