I am off to Riga for a few days

Wednesday morning me and my friend are off to visit the largest city in the baltic countries, Riga in Latvia. I have been there only ones for a short visit but now we get to stay for 5 days and 4 nights . We are renting an apartment in the Old Town. I know I will enjoy myself but I will miss my msn mornings . I tried to get msn on my mobile but it didn't work.
Be good while I am away !!
See you monday morning (sunday evening in us)!

aw i missed our chat yesterday and today caysa!

Sorry I missed posting. I was also away. Welcome home hun!

We had a good time in Riga
At arrival we were met by a taxi driver sent to the airport by the wonderful lady that organized the apartment for us. As I am still recovering from the gout the driver was God sent - he carried my luggage to the apartment that was in an old renovated house in Old Town - second floor . The flat was really nice - a bedroom, where my friend Anna-Kaisa slept and a living room where we moved the other bed for me. There was a small open kitchen with everything we needed and a bathroom with shower and washing machine etc. Everything was clean and nice.
Here is a pic of "our" street, M. Smilsu Iela.




If you want to know more about our trip I will post later when I find the time

This is the tea/coffee shop at the corner - the cakes they have are just incredible!!!

Here is another cool building on the same street. There are many Jugend style building like this in the old town of Riga.

Wow, looks like an incredible place!

These are buildings by the square near our apartment. There are open air restaurants there in the summer. The evenings can be a bit chilly so they provide blankets!!!
