August 26th dawned clear and warm, Perfect for canoeing in Rusne!
Members and families of the Klaipeda International Business Club, asosiacija, met in Rusne for a fun filled day of canoeing with our families and even a Labrador named Leonidas! The weather was Perfect. We all met at a Member’s home, enjoyed a small snack and played with our children as we prepared for our Canoeing Adventure. A short walk (maybe 50 meters) to the canoes, then we loaded up and cast off. First stop was a few kilometers to a well-appointed coffee shop where we enjoyed coffee and tea as the children, Leo and some of us ran around chasing and playing with each other. The second half of our trip was spent restfully canoeing back enjoying the sights, laughing and engaging in brief events of sport and frolic.
After we beached the canoes, we changed clothes and walked through Rusne to a wonderful restaurant by the river. The views, the food and the company were simply – EXCELLENT!! Fun was had by all.
The Members of KIBC appreciate the opportunity to share our day with our families and friends. Everyone had a wonderful experience and look forward to many more occasions of comradery and shared good times in the future!
