Last Thursday I made a spur-of-the-moment decision and booked a trip to Riga, Latvia for the weekend. My decision was spurred by 1) a need for a break after 2 long, stressful weeks of work and 2) my Dad's (great!) recommendation to visit the Baltic countries. This spontaneous decision turned out to be one of my better ones... Latvia was possibly the best weekend trip I've taken in Europe.

*Latvia prides itself on it's beer. The beer halls in Riga serve all the micro-brews. Riga's beer halls are more like outdoor picnic areas with live music. It's a must-do for toursists.
Pics1-3: Blackhead's House; the 3rd pic is from a postcard - it looks amazing at Xmas time!
Pic4: "medical" restaurant
Pic5: beer halls in square around Riga Dome
Pic6: "Grocery store" for Riga. There are no grocery stores in Riga. Instead people sell produce at a central terminal with 5 huge halls (like at a convention center). Each hall has a different items (like fruit, veggies, bread, meat, etc).
Pic7: Amazing flowers that were sold on every street corner.
Pic8: Random sculpture in the town park; sculptures as unique as this are everywhere.
