Daugavpils Universitate, where Steve is lecturing
The gals aboard our big-as-Texas stroller
The Soviet-style dormitory where we spent the first 2 weeks
The balcony of our new and lovely flat overlooks the town's Catholic church and a pretty public park

.Our first days in Daugavpils were spent in an old Soviet building--the university's dormitory--as we searched for an apartment. Life has picked up since moving into Mihuelsas 68-9, a flat with a pretty view and just across the street from the outdoor bazaar and "Ditton Nams," the town's version of a shopping mall.
Zoe and Mary June are thriving. They love the daily walks and gobs of family time, not seeming too bothered that English is hard to come by in the streets.
I need to add a picture of our August attire: long johns and winter hats!!! The days warm up sometimes, but we never leave the house without an umbrella (there's daily rain) and a warm jacket. Poor June's bald head always needs covering up...

Saw Zoe sticking out her tongue. The place looks OK to me, sort of like a old Holiday Inn hotel in Waco. Alyssan, are you going to wear a babushki? It took a lot of guts to move to Latvia. Don't let your kids become ruskies. (Russians) Learn the language. Who knows when it will be useful in Branson--you can talk to Yakoff Smirnoff the entertainer. I am giving Mary your wireless router and card today. It costs a fortune to mail stuff there. Learn to love beets and potatoes--the staple of Russian poor people. Love Dadola
Hi from your church family. We miss the smiling kids and thoughful parents. May God continue to smile upon you, protect you, and nourish you. Need address as we are putting together a "care package'. Love form St. Joseph Anglican Church.
