February and March

Stockholm

Vasa museum

Little islands

Just me

The months of February and March passed quickly. Two months from today and I will be in Canada with Linda. I would describe February and March as being... gray. Yesterday, the sky was a clear blue, the sun was shining and I felt like dancing and singing in the streets.

I celebrated my birthday in March by going to the water park and out to supper with Gunda, Irbe, Linda, Zane, Raimonds, Lauris and Saiva. It was a lot of fun :)

On March 28, Irbe, Linda, Linda’s friend, Laila, Zane, Raimonds and I took the ferry to Stockholm. The ferry was huge and there were many forms of entertainment (definitely more interesting than the ferry to PEI). There was a dance show, music, shops, bars, restaurants and sleeping cabins. On the 29th we arrived in Stockholm and went to the Vasa museum and walked around the town. The Vasa museum was really interesting. The Vasa was a ship that foundered and sank after sailing less than a nautical mile into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She was salvaged in 1961. In the evening we got back on the ferry and headed back to Riga.

This week my life is choir. We have a concert on Friday and I have had practices every day this week.
