Latvia (Riga)

Welcome again to Riga (the first few pictures were actually taken before I went to Sigulda)
The freedom monument
The typical monument guard photo
A beautiful old town with one of the most impressive church towers I have ever seen (3 times larger then all the buildings around it)
The church tower
Old building
Old building and wire
We went to a concert at the beach one night (blurry)
Chef Maija and her incredible magical mushrooms and potatoes
Egils hard at work on the dominos puzzle
Here he consults with Maija who is equally stumped
Icons inside the dome church
Another Icon
Girl on the trolley
The tourists arrive for the 800th anniversary celebrations
Waiting for the show to begin
Lights and music all night


and all day
Four non-blondes
Folk girls resting
My happy hosts Maija and Egils
Singing...
Dancing...
and trying to dance
Crowd over the bridge at dusk
The last song
The fireworks
For 30 minutes straight
Possibly the most impressive show I have ever seen
Those damn trees
Waiting in line for pierogies, Maija tries to act mad at Egils who would rather a steak around the corner
Some unknown drunk locals with a bad case of red eye
