I have been quite blessed by the friendships that have developed and grown since I moved here. Latvia is a small country with a lot to love about it. Especially as the weather warms up and as the days get a bit longer, there is also opportunity to see more of the country and get outside of Riga a bit more. One friend here has been so wonderful in making this possible. She plans out an idea for a place that is interesting and we make a day trip on a free Saturday. We have done this twice now, first a trip to Kuldiga, and the second one which was just last weekend was to Sigulda. They have both been such great trips, as we make several stops along the way at various intriguing sites. I thought I might share a few photos of the adventures, and thus share with anyone who hasn't seen Latvia with their own eyes a little bit of the beautiful country that I call home right now.
