July 19, Reading at Dairy Queen, river walk and star sky

Between the Lines updates (international writing program)

Evening activity for that day was students’ reading at an old-fashioned ice cream place Dairy Queen. After picking up a treat of their choice (not without doubting commotion and anticipation at the sight of ice cream dipped into chocolate), we sat at the wooden tables by the river and by a highway. Reading is when writers read their work, poets – their poetry or you can recite your favorite poem.
After the reading we went to public observation desk. In many universities student volunteers interested in astrology organize sky watch events. Anyone can come and see with their own eyes and the magnifying eye of a telescope Saturn or Venus and, for sure, Moon. Standing high above the city was amazing in itself. Cafés and restaurants lit in vibrant profusion. Red dots of mobile signal reception towers were flashing in the distance. Three lights together in the south. Pum-pum-pum. One at a time in the west. Pum-pum-pum. The pulse of America was beating steadily.
