Day 21 Thursday June 17th 2010

Hey y'all! Today was a pretty good one! First thing this morning I helped Mārtiņš take an amplifier to a repair shop here in Rīga. (The only reason he asked for my help is because he was responsible for his 1 month old son Tīmotejs and it was a lot easier if I helped him.) After that we came back to Mārtiņš' house and ate some lunch, yumm! Then Mārtiņš took me to the grocery store so that I could stock up on some food. After that he took me (and my newly purchased groceries) to my apartment where I stayed for a few minutes before heading out. I was headed to Ungars' apartment to watch one the World Cup games (Mexico vs. France). Ungars came by and picked me up at my apartment, then we picked up Bill who is a Fulbrighter from America. Bill has been in Rīga for 6 months as a music teacher and he leaves on Saturday, so tonight was a farewell party for him. The evening was great! Ungars grilled out some marinated pork that was delicious, he also has a way of making me laugh harder than anyone else here in Rīga! After everything was over, Ungars called a taxi for Bill and I. This was my first taxi experience here in Rīga and it went pretty well. It was around 12:30 when we left Ungars' apartment so it was a little late, but still ok. Anyway, that about sums up today! Čau!
