Ask not for whom the bell tolls...Muiznieku Kapi
On the way back we stopped near Mordanga at Muiznieku Kapi, Squire's Cemetery. My great-grandmother is buried here. I hadn't noticed the inscription in back of the cemetery bell-tower before:
|
Manas ilgas kapa nogrima, Mani sapni tales izgaisa... |
My yearnings sank into the grave, My dreams vanished into the distance... |
My mother helped Gaida and Laura find the grave last year. Since then, Gaida and Maris have cleaned it off and planted ground cover. Next year I want to find out about erecting a monument. Gaida, Laura, Ruta and my mom neaten things up, and Laura and my mom pose for a picture by their grandmother's grave. Across the road, a view of another of Mordanga's lakes.
