Monday.
Got up early, and packed up to go home. Left my things at the hostel and went thrift store shopping with a guy who lives in Riga - Alez is his name, he is half Moldolvian and half Russian-Latvian. I bought a pretty green shirt and then we went to eat lunch at a dive joint. We met a young Russian girl and had a very interesting conversation.
We got so carried away with our conversation, I almost missed my bus at 4pm. I ran back for my things, said goodbye to everyone at the hostel, and ran to the bus station, just in time to get on the bus.
Four hours later, walked home under a full moon and hung out with mom for a bit before she went to bed. I was sleepy too and went to bed early for a change.
Word...............................kompleksās pusdienas = lunch special - as in one cheap price includes soup, meal, drink.
Dish.................................veggie soup with mashed potatoes and an unidentified minced meat in cream sauce, with cabbage and tomatoes on the side (that was the Kompleksās at the dive joint)
Highlight............................conversation
Lowlight............................sitting on a bus for four hours
Random Observation.................................people like to stick to their own... but I also think it's the young people who are there to break away and explore.
