Sunday afternoon Marlene and I went on a Sunday drive to explore the Lithuanian countryside. It was a beautiful sunny day. It was warm, but not hot. It was just a perfect day for such an adventure. Our first stop was in a little town called Darbenai. We saw a lovely church in as we entered the town, so we pulled over to take some photos of it. As we were taking photos we heard music playing in the distance and decided to follow the music to see what was going on. We happened upon a little outdoor muge (or fair) in the middle of a field. There was a stage set up where local (I presume) singers were singing. Around the perimeter of the field there were little booths of artisans selling their wares. And, of course, there was a food area. We walked around the artisan booths and bought a delicious dinner of sausage and cabbage. It was so fun that we just "happened upon" this festive afternoon!

the church was gorgeous against the summer sky
wouldn't this scene make a great puzzle?!
