Angel and the Tram

Hello All -
Sorry the pictures aren't coming through.  Guess I'll give up on that.  We want to tell about our first try at going into Old Riga on the city Tram system.  We walked from our apartment to the stop we thought it was, and decided to ask another young lady who was standing there if we were doing the right thing.  I said "Excuse me, is this the right stop for going into Old Riga?"  She smiled so sweetly and said in perfect English "Yes, this is the right one!"  Then when she was getting ready to get off, she made sure we were getting off too.  Pretty neat that she was there and riding to the same place we wanted to go right at that time.  Then when we got off she told us exactly where to walk.  We did great after that , and enjoyed being in that area, walking the cobblestone streets, visiting a church dating as far back as 1209!  There were also stands of home made traditional items such as dolls, socks, jewelry - fun shopping!  We also went to see the famous Central Market, which is literally blocks and blocks of stands with everything from fruit, baked goods, meat, clothes, shoes . . . . Tried taking pictures but it is impossible to describe the vastness of it!  The weather has been picture perfect, 67 degrees, sunshine, blue skies, maybe an occasional breeze.  So funny, I guess because it gets very chilly at night, and people do a LOT of walking, they seem much more bundled up than we are.  I'm fine in a sleeveless top, Capri pants, and a light sweater, but we see people with big coats and scarves on.  Can't figure that one out. Anyway, later that evening back in our "home neighborhood" we were walking back from the nearby shopping center (mall), when we saw the sweet helpful young lady again.  We said hello, and she so kindly asked how we did getting ourselves back home.  We thought it was so amazing that we "happened" to run into her again!  The timing of all that we did during the day, and the likelihood that we'd see her again in this city . . . I'm thinking God is showing us how He's caring for us, giving us such a beautiful helpful Angel!  That all took place on Wednesday, then yesterday (Thursday) we took a cab to the zoo across town.  We had a very nice time there, probably I loved it the most of all.  Vita is calling us Mom and Dad mostly, which we are very happy about.  We had some time there to play frisbee, and included a family with some little girls who seemed very interested.  That was very pretty.  The zoo is on quite a lovely spot on the Riga Bay (of the Baltic Sea), so great photo spot.  Also, our kind landlord Ugis had dropped off a DVD player, he borrowed from a friend for our use.  So we enjoyed relaxing and watching Princess Bride together.
That's all for now, thank you for praying for us.  God is answering!
