I successfully persuaded one of my friends to skip a choir concert and go to Cēsis (in the north of Latvia) with me yesterday because it was a beautiful spring day in Latvia (as you can see from the pictures below). The town is very cute and very Latvian I didn't hear a word of Russian all day. It was a great trip despite an amusing incident with bananas and karbonade at lunch. We even got to take the train which is so much better than the bus because you can walk around and spread out in your seats. All in all it was a fun and eventful spring day in Latvia.
Me and Cēsis Castle
They give you lanterns so you can see when you are walking through the dark passages of the castle.
View from the top of the song festival park
The castle again looking up from the song festival park
Kristina and me in front of St. John's church..it was really sunny!
The Latvian flag is from Cēsis and this was an exhibition on the history of the flag.

When i went to Cesis, everyone kept calling it a "ista latviesu pilseta," for, i think, the exact reason you said. Instead of the usual 60/40, its more like 100/0.
The castle looks so pretty in the snow! It bet it was scary having to climb those dark passageways with the snow and ice!
