First day on the road. I arrived in Riga this afternoon and have been wandering around a few hours now. Riga is just as I remembered it, wonderful! The fairytale houses, the small streets and the lovely old ladies selling woolen socks and necklaces in front of the big church. Just gotta love it. One thing that still surprises me is how the Latvian women manage to walk on 10 cm high stillettos on the cobblestones that Riga is coverd with? Seriously don't know how they do it!
Wandering around the city I realized what I have embarked on. A year of travelling and new experiences, new places and new people. I'm gonna be away for a year! I have always considered the typical tourist to be the ones walking around with a back pack and a big camera around their neck, and I have always sort of disliked it. But today I found myself being that person, I guess I just have to get used to that now..
Anyways, since I've seen it all before, I quickly ended up in an Irish pub for fish n' ships and a pint of good beer. That is never wrong no matter where you are in the world!
Gotta go now so I wont miss my bus to Tallinn!
Promise to write more as soon as I can and I promise to post a picture of an old man playing the flute with pigeons on top of it. He was sort of charming in his own way..
