The ‘As Promised’ Photos!

Oops!

This is out of order, it was supposed to go out a few days ago, my bad!

We visited a goat farm run by a family in Latvia.
They are 100% vertically integrated as they not only breed and raise their goats, but they process the milk and cheeses including the final packaging. All accomplished under strict sanitary conditions, complete with laboratory analysis, these products are the epitome a chef’s dream of high quality ingredients.
The Market in Riga is Europe’s largest indoor one. It is situated in several old dirigible hangers left over from WWII.

At the goat farm, a patriotic gesture that would have gotten you in trouble just a little over thirty years ago

Aida found a local performance of traditional music and dances put on by students. We were the only ‘outsiders’ there as it was obvious that everyone else was either local or a relative. (Think going to your grandkids recital)
Twenty-nine acts later we left the venue in awe of what we had experienced. It truly was a memorable evening!
On our way to Tallinn, we stopped for lunch at this restaurant in Parnu, which happened to be the hometown of our bus driver!
Most old sections of these towns have turned multiple streets into walking areas only
The collective of mini-shops
Estonia’s memorial to all of the victims of the Soviet era.
The walls have ALL of the names of everyone lost during that time.

And that was just one part of it, the entire structure was quite profound.

I would’ve loved to see that dance performance! Also, that first picture of the goat is literal perfection
