Between the Lines updates (international writing program)
As breakfast in our
dorm wasn’t served on Sunday we went to downtown. Garden Market. Organic food.
I took fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice following student’s choice and an almond
croissant. The note on the juice said ‘The product is not pasteurized, it may
contain harmful bacteria and may not be suitable for people with weak immune
system’. A tiny Thumbelina from our group took a high-calorie peanut butter
cake (scotcharoo) and left the half of it. American style.
A tour of Iowa revealed
the literary artistic background of the city. Benches were covered with
drawings, sidewalks with quotes on the background of prairies, cats, binoculars
and what not. Old piano was right in the middle of a pedestrian mall, sit down
and play (the students actually did so). We dropped into the Haunted bookshop selling used books (great bargains!) and antique
store Artifacts full of old photos, ceramics, jewelry and Spanish hats.
And in the evening
Iowa city is sparkled with fire flies – little lightening bugs raising from the
ground. Raccoons cramp near the river, chipmunks climb the trash bins and
bunnies cross the sidewalk leaping away as soon as you want to take a picture
of it. It’s bunny o’clock. Rabbit time.
