The real excursion Az igazi kirandulas

Today, a weather was very nice again, so we were able to go out and enjoy the fall.
We went to see the sea from the other side of the bay.
Here comes the pictures.

Ma az idojaras volt olyan kegyes hozzank, hogy kimehettunk es elvezhettuk az oszt.
Elmentunk megnezni a tengert, az obol masik oldalarol, ahol meg soha sem voltam eddig.
Itt jonnek a kepek.







We saw those cats hanging out by the sea. There were 4 of them, but these two did not run away when we arrived there.

Azok a macsok a tengerparton ucsorogtek es ez a ketto nem futott el meg akkor sem amikor mar eleg kozel ertunk hozzajuk.






My husband found a very special game that he was playing. I could just easily call it sea dance. Anyways he was also watching the sea if he would see some amber swimming towards us. I could easily call ourselves "amber hunters". I am just totally crazy those amber and want to find my own.

A ferjem valami kulonleges jatekot jatszott, amit mellesleg maris latom, hogy a gyerekeink is nagy elvezve fognak vele jatszani en csak valami tenger tancnak hivnam :) Na, de a lenyeg, hogy borostyankovet akartunk illetve en akartam szerezni es allitolag akkor jonnek, amikor viharos a tenger es nagyon hullamzik, szoval figyelni kellett a hullamokat en meg a kavicsok kozott lomotoltam. Aztan talaltam is valamit, amit el is neveztem fekete borostyannak, de inkabb valami megkovesedett szen lehet.







Oh, yeah, I tried to take as many photos as it was possible. I just love to take photos. I love the sea and the pine trees and little hills and forests and blue sky.

Megprobaltam minel tobb fenykepet csinalni, mert egyszeruen csak szeretek fenykepezgetni. Szeretem a tengert, a fenyo fakat, kis dombokat es erdoket es a kek eget.






The whole forest reminded my husband to Sweden and Norway. It reminded me to Finland.
So, we loved it.

Az egesz erdo Svedorszagra es Norvegiara emlekeztette a ferjemet, engem pedig
Finnorszagra.
Mindketten nagyon szepnek talaltuk.

The great excursion- A nagy kirandulas

Usually we don't spend that much time outside of our apartment. The reason for that is that my husband is working at home so pretty much there is no need to leave our apartment.
So, I just felt I have to use those very special and precious moments when we do leave our apartment.
This is what happened on Wednesday. I felt all morning that this day will be different. I even prepared for it. I washed my hair and got dressed and told my husband that we go to the yes, you won't believe it, but we went to the shop. The shop is on the second street's corner which is approximately 300 meters from here. I was so excited. The sun was shining and calling us out of our cage to go and enjoy the sun shine while we still have sun shine here.
I grabbed our camera because I wanted to make it a memory that we are going somewhere. We both felt like tourists and I started to take photos. Unfortunately the whole "trip" did not last more than 30 minutes, but it was fun.
Oh, yeah and on the way home we saw that huge cat sitting on a top of a car and was sunbathing. Sorry you cannot see the car only the cat. I zoomed too much for the photo.

Then the cold shower arrived on Thursday morning since then it is raining with little or bigger breaks.

Bocsi anci! Szoval most magyarul:
Altalaban nem toltunk olyan sok idot a lakasunkon kivul persze ennek is meg van az oka. Mivel a ferjem otthon dolgozik, ezert igazan a vasarnapokon kivul szinte nem is megyunk sehova sem. Na, de persze igy legalabb mindig van idonk, hogy hosszabb idore elmenjunk valahova, pl. a szent templomba oktober 27tol egy hetre.
Tehat amikor megis kimozdulunk akkor mindig meg kell ragadni a lehetoseget pl. hogy bevasaroljunk az egesz hetre stb.
Egesz szerda reggel ereztem, hogy ez egy kulonleges nap lesz. Szepen hajat is mostam es indulasra keszen alltam. Igen, tenyleg elmentunk, a nem fogjatok elhinni, de a elmentunk a boltba. Vittem is a fenykepezot, hogy tudjak csinalni egy ket fenykepet.
Meg is beszeltuk a ferjemmel, hogy most tisztara turistaknak erezzuk magunkat.
Sajnos az egesz kirandulas nem tartott tovabb mint 30 perc, de azert igy is sokat lattunk. Pl. egy orias cicat, amint a kocsi tetejen napozott, sajnos pont nem latszik a kocsi teteje, de azert latszik az a nagy voros cica.

October 11 Saturday

On Saturday we were celebrating my husband's younger brother's wedding.
The weddings in Latvia are so much different then the ones that I got used to during the years back in Hungary.
Here they had so many programs and games for the new couple and for the guests as well, so then the hours were just running. We started at the Lutheran church (they are not church members in our church)at 1pm then we went to Sigulda, that is a wonderful place where we had some games and then we went to the dinner's place where the guests stayed even for the night.
So, here comes some photos.

Tehat szombaton a ferjem testverenek az eskuvojen voltunk. Az eskuvok itt Lettorszagban teljesen masak mint otthon. Itt olyan sok programot es jatekot szerveznek a fiatal parnak es a vendegeknek, hogy az mar majdnem sok is. De ugy erzem azert tudnek adni egy ket tanacsot a magyar eskuvokhoz is, hogy az egesz ne csak evesrol es ivasrol szoljon. Szoval 1 orakor mentunk az evangelikus templomhoz, mert mivel ok nem egyhaztagok ott tartottak az eskuvojuket es utana Siguldaban mentunk majd a vacsora helyere. Jaj, de azert ugy hianyzott a jo kis magyar lagzis barackos sutemeny, aminek barack alakja van es altalaban kis zold levelket is tuznek ra, jaj azert elek halok.
Szoval itt vannak a kepek.







Na, de mivel vegre lehetosegunk volt egy kicsit kimozdulni Rigabol ezert csinaltam is par fenykepet szoval itt lesznek azok is.

So, I just had to use the chance that we are out of Riga and tried to take some photos of the amazing nature.







So, to make the story full. I was wondering why on earth we are going under a bridge and why is that cool that there is a bridge over us. You can see them on these photos. So, as I was wondering I asked my husband and he told me that this is the highest bridge here in Latvia and that this is the only place where you can see those valleys. Well, we did not have high mountains around us in Hungary, but at least I got used to it that I was always able to see some mountains at least from our balcony I could see them. They were not that tall, but about 500-700m high ones. Here the highest point is 311m so that makes a different in the landscape.
Oh, well still beautiful especially Sigulda.







These last photos were taken by the cave. We, at least I found those stairs (Martin already knew about them)which are going up pretty high. We started to walk them up, but then we had to return back since the whole group arrived to the cave and we had some games there too, I mean with the young couple and the guests.

Tuesday's story

This little story is about something that I have experienced so many times in my life, but every time when it happens with me I just feel so much joy.
Probably everyone of you, who reads this blog knows about my passport story.
If not then I mention it one more time. We got married in Finland because I lived there at that time when I met my husband. We wanted to get married just straight in the temple so that is why we did not have other civil marriage. I also told them that I would like to change my name and have my husband's name. Which is not fully my husband's name because his name ends with "s" and my name ends with "e", but this is how it goes in Latvia. I was also very surprised at first when I found out that actually I will not have my husband's name, but something similar to it.
We got married on a Tuesday and those officers ( I mean in Finland )are doing their job just as they are supposed to do. Which means that when I called the tax office I had to face with it that I am not existing there with my old name anymore then I asked the lady if with the new name and she said oh, yeah sure. So, they wrote on our marriage certificate that I changed my name and now I have my new name, but in the mean time I still had my old passport.
So, this is a very boring story so, I try to make it shorter. Then when we tried to register here with our marriage certificate and my old passport they did not accept it.
Now, I have been waiting my new passport over 7 months we thought we should try to go back to the same office and ask them if they would accept a temporal passport that I could get if something "would happen (means if I myself ruin it)" with my old passport.
The lady was very nice, but after couple of minutes I was not able to handle the situation then I started to cry like crazy. I felt that the lady also felt sorry for us, but of course she, herself was not able to change the European Union's laws though I bet she would want to do it. She tried to look at my face, but I was just so sad that I couldn't calm down. The lady said if we get the new passport within 10 days I will get the social security number and that I will be registered.
Then we walked home (luckily this office moved to our neighborhood just about 15 minutes walk). We were both very sad and we were wondering why is this happening with us. Then we talked about the dvd that we watched previous night about the pioneers and then we made the conclusion that WE are also pioneers here in Latvia, even in our families. It felt so much better to know that as pioneers we will always have trials, but those trials will just make us stronger.
So, as we arrived home we both felt so much peace and that everything will be ok.
I checked my email and I got an email from my mom. She wrote in her email (she only sent that email 12 minutes ago when we got home) that: MY PASSPORT WAS READY ON FRIDAY AND IT IS HEADED TO ANOTHER OFFICE AND THEY ARE POSTING IT FROM THAT OFFICE. You cannot imagine what I felt when I was reading her letters.
We knelt in prayer to thank to Heavenly Father His mercy on us.
Then I called the ambassador and told him that my passport is ready. He is such a nice man. He also got so happy for the good news. He said if we are lucky then we can have it even this week on Friday. But I remembered that my mom said that it takes 2 days to get to that office which would post it so my DEAR PASSPORT missed that guy, who would bring it here. I asked the ambassador when would be the next post, because you have to know that there is NO postal service between Hungary and Latvia only if someone , who works in the embassy travels from Hungary to Latvia and then brings the letters with him (or someone travels from Latvia to Hungary, same lame process). I asked him when would be the next post and he said "IN THREE ( 3 ) MONTHS LATER" Oh, yeah I was very happy, no actually I was not happy at all, but then he remembered that he is traveling home at the end of October and he comes back in a week so he said the latest I can get my passport in the middle of November.
HURRAY :):):)

So, what is the conclusion of the story?
For me: that we always have to stand up for what we believe in.
Our life will not be easier as church members, but surely it will be always well worth.
