Saturday.
Slept in, only til 10 or so, and was a bit wobbly when I first got up (hee hee). Very quiet morning and then I went on a free Rīga City Tour at noon. It was very long - 3 hours - but interesting. We visited the markets, saw the arty warehouse district, only one church, and some history and architecture thrown in too. Very nice. Afterwards, we were starving, and went to the Hare Krishna Vegetarian Restaurant - some of the food was very good, some not so much.
Now, I'm chilling a bit before going to the Tango show... will update that later.
Word................................leļļu teātra izrāde = puppet show
Dish...................................soy strips in tomato sauce with barley and curried vegetables.
Highlight.............................so far... learning more about some of the architecture
Lowlight..............................waking up
Random observation.............................a factual tidbit about Riga... they have a tradition of constructing wooden buildings instead of stone so that when they get invaded again, they can just burn all of the buildings and the invaders have to rebuild the city from scratch. Notice how it is "WHEN" they get invaded again, not IF.
