Note from Tory: Riga

Posted by KC on
My day in Riga

I am just about to sprint off to catch my ferry back to Helsinki, but I have just enough time to tell you I am well and somewhat thawing out :-)



Riga treated me exceptionally well for my birthday abroad. I took myself to a traditional restaurant for an authentic Latvian dinner (steak and potatoes -- I love this place!), and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sprinkles for dessert. Just scrumptuous, after some sketchy meals Ive had the past few days. After dinner, I decided to burn off some of those extra calories by going ice skating at the outdoor rink in the open square just a few yards from my hotel. It was really embarassing, but I surprised myself by how much fun I had, clinging to the rail as I got up as much speed as I dared. The little kids, half my height, were wizzing by and yucking it up... but then, so was I!



This morning I was half frozen by the end of my walking tour of Old Town Riga, and ready for hot coffee and lunch. Since then, I've been wandering the streets, especially admiring the amber jewelry shops, of which there are hundreds.



For today I bid you adieu. Love you!



Love T
