I was given the opportunity to speak at the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies conference in Bloomington Indiana and I jumped at the opportunity to come back to the US even if it was for a short time. I even got to stay with one of my good friends from college who went to law school at Indiana University. It was great because I didn't tell anyone I was coming home and so I surprised all of my friends and professors.

My thesis adviser giving the keynote address at the conference. In true Latvian/Guntis form he sang part of his speech. (He studies Folklore and used to make us memorize Latvian folk songs and sing them as part of our quiz every Friday during Second Year Latvian.)
