The apartment was one which Silvija's parents have been renting for a number of years whenever they visit. And there was a new neighbor down the block, a new IBM office building. Now, if they were only hiring... as it turns out, a year later they were, but Peters couldn't make the four-year commitment.

It was a spacious home base, an apartment from the "Ulmana laiki" (between WWI and WWII) complete with a little balcony off the kitchen. We would congregate there in the evening, it was coolest place in the apartment.

Our first stay really together, here, was especially poignant for Silvija, who had given up the thought of ever sharing Latvia with someone special in her life. As for Peters, spending more and more of his vacation in Latvia every year, he had just figured it would continue that way. After all, it's not always easy to find someone who would share his passion for Latvia as a top vacation destination! It just goes to show, never predict what can't happen!
