hello friday.

we're off to Riga in 5 days time. We'll be there in time for the country-wide midsummer night celebration. It's nice to see an ancient pagan culture survive to this day. I guess it's good for them that Rome never noticed them, because they've managed to maintain an extremely distinctive flavour that can be traces quite easily all the way back to their beginning.
Most of the Europe that I know has sort of blended together, albeit with little quirks that differentiate.
