Sigulda

I know it has been awhile since I've posted, but don't worry everything is fine and I'm back and ready for more. My last post was Wed., so I'll do a small re-cap of what has happened since then. The big reason why I didn't post on Thurs. and Fri. was computer trouble. (Those computer eating giant bugs can really be a pain in the butt) The most eventful thing that happened since my last post was Sat. when Lena, I and several of her friends went to Sigulda (a city about 60 km (the number is larger in miles) outside of Riga). Most people go to Sigulda in the fall, because it is a great place to see the leaves change color, but Sat. was all overcast and cold. Even with the weather being far from good we had a great time. We walked around the old castles and saw a famous cave that has a whole bunch of signitures of people from the 19th century. After the walk we went to a place next to a lake for a campfire and a picnic. The place next to the lake was cold and wet, but that was all cured by a fire, some food, and I few bottles (wink, wink). A good time was had by all.
