2017 08 23 Riga


A day of exploring Riga, mainly the 'new' Art Deco part of town, as opposed to the medieval old town.

The view out of our apartment window:

We spent a lot of time looking into courtyards, sneaking into private stairwells )most are locked) etc,















I got our laundry done by a lovely lady in this building, 10 euros for a full bag of 3 peoples laundry, come back in 3 hours....


Jazmina and Rachel


Another view out of our window










Plenty of timber buildings in the heart of town





























By the river Daugava

Thats the library building



Market by the canal



Science faculty. Was previously some soviet admin building, I think
5 euros gets you to the top



Classic soviet era foyer, only a third of the lights were on, very dim








We went out to the north of town to a bar that someone recommended, ended up at some sort of art collective decaying mansion party thing, got a bit blurry there after a while...
















bonus phone photos:






Riga Folk Club
 Aiste sent through some photos of dad, looks like he has his appetite back...
