We had long correspondence with Rolf. He is a very romantic man and was writing letters to me every day. We agreed to meet and we were waiting for it almost a month. There were surprises right from the start of our meeting. He went form Kiev to Poltava to meet me and I was waiting for him at the train station. Can you imagine my feelings when I saw Rolf in the window of the train at last but he only waved his hand to me and train started moving and soon was lost from my sight. I did not know what to think and do. Did he not like me? Why then he waved me a hand? It was almost midnight. Luckily we have two train stations in Poltava and I took a taxi and went there to meet him and asked what happened. I waited for almost an hour and when he got off from the train the explanation was simple, - he did not manage to get off the first time. Rolf made our first meeting to be really surprising. We went to the apartment and talked for almost 3 hours. Next day I took my daughter with us and we went all three to see the swans on the lake. We had nice communication, talked, laughed, and fed swans with bread. We had nice time together and we have more time left to continue knowing each other as Rolf came for several weeks to stay with us. It is so wonderful to meet in real life at last.
