The first season

Breakfast in the courtyard under the walnut.
Breakfast in the courtyard under the walnut.

The first season is over. 118 nights in three rooms, 14 families, a bus of nuns from the south who sang at breakfast, and one old man who sat under the walnut for two days and wrote postcards. The room for two was 90 som with breakfast. Costs were many: sheets, gas, a second kettle.

I made a little money. The best part: mama, at six every morning, in the kitchen, with the whole house smelling of kümöch. She says she has not been so busy and so happy since my father.
