It’s getting later and as usual I am exhausted. It seems I am always worrying that I will be too fatigued to perform and I start counting how many hours before show-time and wondering if I will have time for a nap. Yet, I am pleased when Svetlana asks if I’d like to share a meal. Of course. It’s a bummer that I can not hang and have a leisurely dinner and drinks with this lovely woman.

We go to Lido – which is a crazy, massive place with three floors, families, kids running around and Christmas decor still out in February.

Svetlana says it is as Latvian as you can get. There is Latvian music playing, which sounds – oddly enough – a lot like American Country and Western music. The building is made to look like a huge log cabin. It was a wonderful afternoon but I am fading fast. It’s after 5P.M. and I definitely need a nap.

I get back to my room and face the age old problems: exhaustion – but will I be able to fall asleep? Oy!
