Here, a lake winds through the city like a river. The lake is in a valley, the city is on a hill, there are houses all around the shores, some small, some larger, but during holidays, church bells ring across the city, prayers are sent to God and the soul is lifted up. “We are very rich in the fact that we live in our hometown, Latvia. We do a lot of things together, we help each other, we celebrate holidays together. We should try to preserve that togetherness, involve children, so that we become aware of what we have and maybe not always strive for what we don’t have and maybe never will have. We are open, we welcome both visitors and guests, feel free to visit, see what is interesting here, but our duty, as residents of Subati, is to be here and do so that we and our children live here happily and long, just like these oak trees in the city center.” - Gunta Okmane, a resident of Subati.
