My sister and I and the beautiful sunset.
Lighting the fire
People jumping over the fire which traditionally people jump over to ensure prosperity and fertility.
My friend Kristina and I and lots of smoke!

Jaņi
Jāņi is a Latvian festival held in the night from 23 June to 24 June to celebrate the summer solstice, the shortest night and longest day of the year. The day of Līgo (23 June) and the day of Jāņi (24 June) are public holidays in Latvia, people usually spend them in the countryside and Riga is empty. We decided to go to the seaside with a couple of my friends to check out the festivities there.
