June 24

The rain has continued today and has made for a somewhat gloomy day here in Riga.  The wind was harsh all day and made the outdoors far from inviting, so we stayed in the warmth of the flat.  We did much of what we did yesterday, reading and talking, and just chilling.  It was good talking with people from home and very comforting as well.  The weather seemed to have us all in a much more quiet and pensive mood today. The high points of the day were by far the cuisine. Dan graced us with his wonderful talent in the kitchen with an incredible lunch of such tender meat in noodles and sauce that were mouthwatering and had such an amazing flavor.  We were treated to homemade bread as well with dinner that was another homemade dish, this time being quiche.  I know I keep repeating it, but the food has just been quite tasty.  For a little comic relief, we watched the Pink Panther tonight after dinner and also some clips of Captain Positive (Dan’s friend who plays a super hero for a series of shows for the Boys and Girls Club - quite humorous) and ended the day with laughter. Hopefully the rain will cease tomorrow and we will be able to get some fresh air!
