A fascinating little adventure. If I recall correctly, did you open a book at one point to have a snake wriggle out?! Or was that someone else? Did you see any other snakes and if so, do you know what kind they were? Organizations or conferences centered around the legacy of a particular person have always struck me as a bit weird, and it's nice to know that's reflected in the characters you encountered. I especially like the image of the guy sitting down in Tolstoy's stream and emerging completely green. I am glad to know that bicycling is inconsistent with Christian ideals. By any chance, have you ever read The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco? Best murder mystery I've read and perhaps certain parallels with your "investigation." Also, do you like banana cream pie? A friend just made one for me and I am trying to share it before I eat it all. Hi Elif,
