Here's what I love about Latvia: I just bought a bottle of Absinthe.... for $7(it's about 7-8 times that amount in Vancouver)... in the supermarket...
some photos of the trip: (sorry about the size, I'm unable to crop it. )
(KGB prison in Vilnius- these are shredded documents from the 1991 withdrawal)
(independent republic of Uzupio (vilnius))
(Vilnius from the top of a hill)
(my wacky German roommate in Riga. Fun fact: we're reading the exact same book)
(Stephane Quintal and me in Riga)
