One of the places we promised to go was out to Koknese, where Silvija's dad had grown up. He had reclaimed property there—which he had never seen. Silvija's mom had a very difficult time with health problems in Latvia their last trip there together, and it was difficult for Silvija's dad, leaving her mom behind this trip. As we've said, one should never predict what can't happen, but Silvija's dad thought this might be his last trip back to Latvia.

So, we absolutely promised we would take one day to drive out to Koknese—an hour or two's drive along the northern shore of the Daugava River east of Riga.
