| Dance concert |
Today, we went to the Tēvu Laipas dance concert, which is
part of the song and dance festival. It
was so cool. There were thousands of
people dancing, representing their beloved country. The dances were all traditional Latvian folk
dances. I was pretty excited when I
recognized a couple of them. I am including a video that I took at the end of this of the very last dance where all the dancers came out. The dancers
were all amazing and all so proud. One
thing that I have always loved about Latvia, and continues to impress me time
after time, is how united the country is.
It is such a small country, but everyone comes together to practice traditions
and show their pride. Community is such an important thing in this culture. It’s such a cool
thing to witness.

| Beer and friends in Riga |
My days so far have been pretty chill. Yesterday we went to see a concert in a
church and then went to listen to some music and hang out while drinking some
good Latvian beer. That was fun because
I got to see Ilze again and chat with her.
I also had the best ice cream ever!
It was home
made ice cream and so yummy. Hopefully I will still be able to enjoy all other ice cream now.
Also, jet lag is kicking my ass.
