Some more pix of Riga...


I thought this was a rather cool statue...to a poet, I believe.



Lots of brightly coloured streetcars.



The "bag ladies" in the Central Market.



While many shopkeepers seem to have a very dour outlook, the people in
the flower markett all seemed to be cheerful.



This the area of Jurmala just 20 minutes from Riga....23 miles of sandy beach and warm water
on the Baltic.



A neat little shop in the old town of Riga where I bought a tie to replace Jim's
favourite tie that I melted...thought the iron was on min and was on max...



Jim's new tie which is handpainted silk with a design of the buildings of Riga.
