43 hours in Riga--205 pictures.
A Russian Orthodox church.
One of many examples of the architecture in Old Riga.
The Latvian Parliament building.
The War Museum.
One of the many churches in Old Riga.
Old Riga is quite lovely. Riga at night, however, is another story. Riga is now what I've always heard and read about Prague in the 1990s. Western European and American young backpacking partiers who frequent the many (and I mean MANY) clubs that are open all night. German and Japanese tourists (in groups) during the day. Everybody there speaks English. We did not encounter one clerk or service person who did not speak passable to good English. I'm glad we went, but I have no need to go back.

"For Stalin"--or thereabouts.
