My Last Night in the Country
I take I one last evening stroll as dusk settles. Tommorow
to Kuldiga and back to Riga; the day after, home. Time has really flown by this
trip. I didn't get to see Lorraine and Josh again or to meet Andris
Vecrumba. No relation, but he is the computer guru(!) for Olympia Bank
in Riga. (It's a long story, from my first trip. Out of sequence, you'll have
to read about it in a future album.) What's in a name? Maybe more than you
might think!
Sheep blur as they amble along. The moon hides out behind
the clouds, casting a soft rainbow. In the mill house, the light's on; Gaida,
Laura, and my mom chat away by the light of the single bulb. Last, the kitchen,
resplendent in its own way, and my mom ready with her flashlight to head to
Janis' and Ruta's for dinner.
