Man, what a day! Kretinga, you wild little town, you really threw me for a loop today. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring merch day, but nah, Kretinga had other plans.
So, I hit the streets around 9 AM. First stop? Vilniaus gatvė. I’m cruisin’ down, coffee in hand, feeling like a boss. But then, bam! I spill half my latte all over my new kicks. Ugh! Like, seriously? Who needs that kind of negativity at 9 AM?
Anyway, I shake it off. Kretinga’s got this chill vibe, right? The old buildings, the cobblestone streets, it’s like stepping back in time. I’m walking past the Kretinga Museum, thinking about how I should check it out someday. But today? Nah, I’m on a mission. Merchandising waits for no one!
So, I’m hustling down Maironio gatvė, and I spot this cute little shop. It’s got all these quirky trinkets. I’m talking about stuff you didn’t know you needed. I’m like, “I need that weird ceramic cat!” But then I remember my budget. Gotta keep it real, ya know?
Then, outta nowhere, I bump into my old buddy, Tomas. We start chatting, and he’s like, “Dude, you gotta try the šaltibarščiai at that café on Gedimino.” I’m like, “What’s that?” He explains it’s this cold beet soup. Sounds weird, but I’m down for anything.
So, we head over to the café. I’m skeptical, but man, it’s actually bomb! The flavors are wild. I’m slurping it up, and Tomas is cracking jokes about how I’m gonna turn into a beet. I laugh so hard, I almost choke. Classic Kretinga moment, right?
After lunch, I’m back on the grind. I hit up the market on J. Basanavičiaus gatvė. It’s packed! Fresh veggies, flowers, and all the locals are chatting. I love that vibe. But then, I see this lady trying to haggle over a cabbage. Like, lady, it’s a cabbage! Just buy it!
But then, I get a call from my boss. He’s like, “Where’s the new merch?” I’m like, “Chill, I’m on it!” But inside, I’m fuming. Why do they always expect miracles? I’m just one person!
So, I rush to the warehouse. It’s on the outskirts, near the Kretinga Park. I’m sweating bullets, running like I’m in a marathon. I finally get there, and guess what? The delivery is late. Classic! I’m ready to throw a fit.
But then, I see this little kid playing in the park. He’s chasing pigeons, laughing his head off. And I’m like, “Dude, life’s too short to be mad.” I take a deep breath, and it hits me. Kretinga’s got this charm that just makes you smile.
Finally, I wrap up my day. I’m walking back, and the sunset is gorgeous. The sky’s all pink and orange over the old church on the corner of J. Basanavičiaus and Maironio. I stop for a sec, just soaking it all in.
Kretinga, you crazy little town, you’ve got my heart. Even with the spills, the stress, and the weird soup, I wouldn’t trade today for anything. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
