further afield in latvia

we spent the day at latvia's national parks looking at bogs and castles. we ended up doing quite a bit of hiking. they don't call this country "the small, flat and largely boggy meat in the sandwich between its Baltic neighbour[s]" for nothing.

i still have to figure out how to write "vietnam" and "kenya" in latvian before tomorrow morning (i'm betting the latter is "kenja").
