After an entire day of traveling we arrived late in the evening in Odessa. The devotees eagerly received us and took us to Bhaktin Linda's home, where we stayed for the next five days.

Her little house is not far away from the temple, in a quiet and peaceful residential area. Her husband was away on his job in Kiev, so we had plenty of space. A naturally kept garden surrounds her house and has a big pond which is inhabited by lots of frogs. Upon our arrival we were welcomed by a huge frogs' kirtan, which continued throughout the entire night. Fortunately my room was facing to the back of the house, so I was not disturbed by the noise.

On my arrival in Zuerich on the 14th of June I needed a few days to adjust again to the European time zone and climate. And it was rather cold here for this time of the year. Rasarani Mataji had arrived from her trip to the Canarian Islands, and from here we would once again continue our journey together.
