Riga in Latvia

after our morning with our food guide we hit some sights of the ancient city dating back to the 12 century


today a pretty city with some lovely waterways


some modern art ... think this would look good in the bottom of the garden.




 Back through the flower market before we hit the high sea this afternoon, this area anyone can set up for the day, just rent a section of a table and sell what you have grown in your home garden or foraged from the forest.




 
the smell of sweet peas, in this cooler climate it is a long season.


 
 No trip to Riga would be complete without a photo stop in front of Stalin's birthday cake.
The name still brings a shiver to my bones.

  2. I was thinking that you would have to dig a mighty big hole for that sculpture thingy that you want in your backyard. 👍

  3. Will the sculpture fit in you bag considering the chair from Morocco is in there?
