Initially hearing the word Sicily, I associate it with the Mafia, the name of Carleone (the godfather of New York Sicilian Mafia), constantly active volcano Etna, the sun and the sea.

Searching for Frida Kahlo photographs in internet, I found and set against these two, which, in my opinion, exactly shows her character.

No, I am not talking about the sand sculptures that have already become popular in the Baltic States; it is something more flowing, instant and in constant motion. With just a few handfuls of sand strewn by chance on glass and with unusual finger movements a whole painting is created. It tells its own story because the contours constantly change and turn into a new form.

On Thursday, August 10, I attended the open class of the exotic dance centre Alegria which took place at the Centre of Young Technicians on E. Birznieka Upīša 4.

There were performances of the teachers illustrating each of the dance types.

This is the only bath that men and women can attend together because it is just for tourists, locals never go there.
