city

Riga just celebrated its 810 birthday witch concerts, fairs, knight tournament, retro cars debts, salsa marathon, regatta, pilot demonstrations and many other interesting for visitors happenings. It seems, that the celebration culmination wasn’t fireworks, as it was for many years, but key of Riga city teeming, for 52 763 other keys.

Saturday was very warm, so we thought that we could go to look on Old Riga not getting through tourist crowds, but from canal of Riga and waters of Daugava. Before it, we looked through canal wooden boat place kmk.lv with map and getting in in Bastejkalns.

I have always been interested in, unless time travelling, then at least imagining how concrete place looked before century or two and how could it look in the future. I just took my camera and went to center, so I could take some photos with Riga streets, buildings and squares and little bit later to compare with in Letonika data base found history photos.

Although yesterday we couldn`t enjoy all of the events of the festival because of the bleak drizzle, we did attend some of them and it was interesting.
