Words, words, words

Language is going to be one of the struggles and I'm afraid it will be the one to bring me a lot of discouragement and frustration and helplessness. I had a few of those moments today. It's not about me being able to speak the language. At this point, that's the least important thing. It's about finding the person/people who can accurately translate between Latvian and English, plus Russian. That seems to be eluding me and I confess my great impatience. I don't want to hurt the feelings of those who are helping me now. It's just that I need more. On a lighter note - I'm going to Sweden tomorrow for a few days of vacation. I'm meeting my friend Birgitta and she's going to take me exploring the country. I know I just had some time away but this is the only time available for us to meet, so here I go!
