Leg 2: Latvia (Riga & surrounding regions)

Latvia, Latvia. So few people have even heard of this place let alone could find it on a map. Nevertheless, I have always wanted to come here and turns out there is no better time to be in Latvia than the end of June. The first few days were rainy but then we were able to escape to the countryside on a nice weather day. There we explored ancient castle ruins and hiked through the woods.

Streets of old Riga.

Central square in Riga.

Turaida castle in Sigulda, a region of Latvia.

We frolicked in fields. Literally!

Midsummer's Festival begins with flower wreath weaving. More on this festival in my next post...
