Well here is a place I have wanted to go to for a long time, and was really impressed by the city and its history. I went to a museum in Estonia on the occupation of the Baltic States but you didn't see as much there as you did in Riga the capital. As for the history of the area is,well I think this would tell it better then I could http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Latvia (I know but its true and you all know it..) Any way there were all sorts of things to see and do in Riga you could even go out to a Soviet Bunker and shoot a AK-47 but the guide was out of town for the weekend so I went to a outdoor museum. I know its not as good of a choice but I had to do something.

One of the bad things about Riga is that some of the best parts of the buildings are on the roof, this is bad because of the cobble stone streets and the snow..

I went to this outdoor museum where the government had gone through the country looking for all these old buildings and then rebuilt them together in this park just outside of Riga.. It was really cool.
