Taking a departure from the historical narrative, Richard and Fr. Andrew take the listener on a tour of Lithuanian mythology and fairy tales while themselves taking a walk on the legendary, liminal Curonian Spit, a long sandbar that is said to have been thrown out into the Baltic Sea by a giantess protecting her home from storms thrown by an angry suitor.
