Grutas Park on Wiki <\/a> <\/b><\/p>\n Grutas Park, near Vilnius Lithuania, is one of the first of the off the wall locations Special Agent Nancy found. It is a park with tons of statues from the Soviet era and other Soviet ideological relics. This was the first indication that this trip was not going to be to the usual touristy and girlie type destinations. We were not going to the Spa!<\/p>\n You can read more details in the Wiki link above, but basically a Mushroom Magnate realized that a part of history was being destroyed along with the Soviet Union. He went around and saved statues that would have otherwise been lost to history.<\/p>\n This park shows statues of heroes and villians. Many were heroes of the Soviet Union, until they were “Arrested, Jailed and Shot!”<\/b> I guess it doesn’t pay to be a hero.<\/p>\n History was treated fairly, showing the good with the bad (not a lot of good). I will let the photos speak for themselves. Go to the Photo Album link above to see lots more photos.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not a train car you would want to be on. A somber and scary display Elvis ! ! ! Small Dinosaurs At least there was a motorcycle And a Flying Beaver Escargot Relaxing comfortably. None of the statues in this park showed anyone smiling. WAY Bigger than life size Dracula??
