I’ve swapped hot and sunny 100 degree Madrid for cool and cloudy 65 degree Riga. It has been refreshing.

Note that most everyone is wearing pants and a jacket. (The wreaths are for Jāņi or “Līgo”.)

I’ve also upgraded from a bed in a bunkroom to a full blown apartment. I don’t know if it’s the intermittent rain, luxury of having my own space, or exhaustion catching up with me but I’ve been curled up with a book watching ships float by between naps and it has been bliss.

Tomorrow, I will explore beyond Old Town…maybe.
