Birthday Blogging

My family has certainly become basic "birthday bloggers". I must say,however, that it was nice to read their good wishes, given I was away in Lithuania for my birthday. So, as I wondered what part of the trip to blog about next, I thought I would tell you about my birthday celebration.

Everywhere we went was great, but on this night (the best of the year, by the way) we went to a restaurant that was not a tourist spot. It had old polished wood & was warm & wonderful. There were old farm implements all around, like the old blacksmith above. People were singing and dancing, etc. etc. etc. It was very old style Lithuanian. We ate outdoors on a second floor balcony. I had my first potato sausage, we had cepilini and my new passion...Lithuanian beer snacks.



The group arranged to have musicians come and play for me. There were only two, but they sounded like an entire group. One of the men played a BIRBYNE . It had such a wonderful sound. First they sang happy birthday in English, then they did the Lithuanian happy birthday. Their version is much better than ours. It seemed to go for five minutes, the entire place sang, it got louder with each verse & everyone was standing up and waving their hands in the air...all in all a very good day.
