In case you were wondering what it was like, please view this video.
Just kidding! It was an experience too bizarre to be described by simply a video.
How about a string of adjectives (and nouns)? gaudy, disco, karaoke, drunk, tax-free, sketchy, luxurious, cramped, Slavic-sounding radio announcements, beds that fold out of the wall, water in all directions forever, 9ish floors, choreographed dance shows at 8 'o clock, fruit for dinner cut up with a Swiss army knife...
OK sorry for the indirectness: the boat trip was very strange, but Latvia was lovely. We arrived in Riga, the capital city, around 10am on Sunday. Here are some pictures!
Oh, Latvia! I hope you got a look at their mittens! Latvia is famous for its knitted mittens - and other knitted things, too. Even if you didn't see any mittens, I hope you had a *wonderful* time!

and kittens with mittens!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did see lots of Mittens! And I bought some too! If you want, I have a classmate in Stockholm who is from Latvia, and I could have him get you some mittens when he is there in a week or two for our second break.
