Tag: Latvia

Dmitri’s parents and I went out into the countryside around Riga to take in the sights.  This is at a park/church area.  Some old sort of sailboat set up where people could look at it.

Crosses outside of a historic church.

Up in the rafters of the church.

I had just received a Latvian haircut the day before.

A castle from when Germanic knights controlled the Baltic states.

At a very large natural cave.

Arriving in Riga, I was met by Dmitri’s parents at the bus station.  This is the mailbox in their apartment building.

Out on the street in Riga.

American embassy.

A monument.

Sweet van.

An old church tower.

We went up inside this tower.
