Rainbows

Good morning! Labrīt! Bon dia!

Woaw.. so many days without writing and so many things to talk about! I wish the days had 48 hours, I want to do too many things!

Today I went out of my flat, coming to work, I turned right on the first corner and I saw a wonderful image: the sun was strongly shining between some black clouds, lighting up just some parts of the streets, but very intensively, and a rainbow was shyly standing in the background. It was very very nice! But, of course, I had this stupid thought of taking a picture instead of enjoying it so the clouds decided to move and the rainbow disappeared. Anyway, it was a beautiful start of the day.

So, let's review very fast what has happened lately!

Some weeks ago my family came to visit me. My father, mother and brother spent 6 days in Latvia and we visited Rīga and Kuldīga. I was very happy to see them and spend some days together, although at that time I had only been away 2 and a half months, it's always comforting to see your family. And they were so lucky! They came the best week they could have come, the autumn was at its peak, all the trees were full of colors: yellow, red, orange... Everything looked amazing! But then they left and to be honest I was sad and the landscape didn't help anymore because the leafs started to fall and everything became brown. By the way, during the days that the leafs were falling I loved to walk on the streets because they made such a nice sound!

I spent the following weekend in Rīga, with Anna, enjoying our time and discovering interesting places. We went to a tea shop so charming and peaceful, it was great! And it is written down on our list of cool places of Rīga (we have a lot of lists: our plans, the places/shops/restaurants we like of each city we visit, the food we want to cook, and some other).

I was really looking forward to the week that was coming. On that Friday I had my first performance with Focus, the dancing group I joint. It was in Saldus, in an award ceremony, and I had to dance 5 of the 7 dances we were doing. Actually it was pretty difficult to remember them all! Anyway, I really love dancing and I was really happy to dance there! But after the performance, I realized that I miss my dancing group from Catalunya so much... “Step By Step” is my second family.

And this was not the only good thing of the week: on Saturday I left with Anna to Lithuania for 5 days. It was a great great trip! First we went to Kaunas with some friends we had met in Riga two weeks earlier. They are doing an Erasmus there so they are from different nationalities and it was perfect for practicing languages: I found myself speaking in French to two sisters, they answering me in Spanish, turning my head and Speaking in English and Latvian words coming to my mind instead of the French ones. Hilarious!

Then, on Sunday afternoon we left to Vilnius. We stayed in the flat of a friend of a friend and they were so nice! The three days we spent in Vilnius were fantastic: we visited the old town, the castle, the forest, Užupis Republika, we went to very good cafes, restaurants, concerts... it was a fantastic trip.

So, when I came back to Kuldīga I got ill. Of course! I didn't have plans for the following weekend and my body decided it was the perfect time to get ill. And if it wasn't enough, I also burnt myself. Yes, making pumpkin soup I destroyed a little bit of my arm. Luckily it didn't hurt until yesterday. Well, I hope it will get better and my cold will disappear soon.
