Today was supposed to be « Riga Latvia Day » but as I mentioned yesterday, and given the change in weather from sunny to rainy, I decided it was not worth it to be on the bus for 8 long hours to see more buildings so today is a rest day, or is it really? Not according to my Apple Watch, i had nearly 14,000 steps for a weakly average of 18,000 steps a day!! Nothing to brag about since my average for the Everest base camp trip was in the 30,000 steps a day range plus altitude gains too… In any case, a vacation in Europe is not for resting the body but rather the mind…
I woke up so late that I was like what happened to me? It was 12:00 pm when i got up!!! Missed a free very generous buffet breakfast given by the hotel… so first order of the day, find coffee! So out the hotel I went, after a block or two walking a coffee shop showed up and voila, my coffee was served and I was happy. After that I was just exploring new areas of town… stopping in coffee shops for refueling and resting as well… before long I ended up in the old city again but different streets and squares! It was a coolish weather so my hoodie was very handy today and yesterday!!
Here is a selection from today’s pics
