Ideas, Thoughts and Rules of Engagement Steeped in History and Love
Ancient times come alive in Lithuania this weekend. When people can visit farms and villages all over the country and learn to bake bread the old fashioned way, brew beer and mead, learn to weave, pick mushrooms, go fishing, ride around the country side in horse-drawn carriages, sing folk songs around the camp fire, dance, and of course make love and sleep in hay lofts.

Let me begin by saying that I am from Lithuania, a country that speaks Europe’s oldest language, even older than Latin or Homeric Greek. It’s in a linguistic group of its own (Baltic), and every European language has some Lithuanian words in it – no wonder Esperanto was invented here. And, oh yes, we do play a mean game of basketball! For me, being born a Lithuanian is all about music in the country that calls itself “Dainava” – Land of Song.
