riga, Latvia
I have to type quickly as the computer signs me off quickly...not very wired here...
Anyway, Riga is another old world country..in fact the restaurant we just had dinner at was built in 1201...fun to see the style and read about the history.
Took a walking tour today with our guide ....lots of stories about the architecture and the people. Then, David and I took a tour to Ethnographic outdoor museum...kind of like our Mumford- crafts people doing things as they were done100 years ago- pretty forest setting...could have spent hours there.
It's very different from western Europe...they're really just getting into tourism here -
lots of photo ops: red tile roofs, colorful buildings, decorative art with a
story...I'll have those vacation cd's rolling once again- beware!
off to Lithuania tomorrow...will try to check in then...
gotta scoot....
