Early Music Festival

Today I traveled almost the length of Latvia. I went north to Limbaži, well actually Lēdurga for an interview (for my research) and then went to Rundale Palace near Bauska in the south for the Early Music Festival. It was a long but eventful day.

Once again at Rundale Palace
Latin American Baroque Music Concert in the White Ballroom of the palace.
Then we went outside for the final concert in the garden and it was raining so they handed us ponchos! Even President Zatlers who sat behind us watched the performance in the rain.
The final concert with baroque music and dancers. But what happens when dancers try to dance on a wet stage? There were lost of falls and stumbles which at first was kind of funny but then I just felt bad. Luckily no one turned an ankle and the audience was very supportive.
No this is not a forest fire....its just fireworks in the rain.
The back of the palace light up because of the fireworks..you can see everyone in their fashionable ponchos.
