We had a beautiful sunny day in Cesis on Wednesday. While it was still very chilly, it was a nice day to get outside for a few hours. Our friend Ainars took us to a couple of local spots of beauty. One is the site of an old mill with a bridge over the cascading waterfall. There is a tradition in Latvia that as people get married they take a trip to a bridge and secure a lock on the railing, signifying that the marriage will last. In the photos below some of the locks are visible.
The second spot we visited was a location deep in the woods where two rivers come together. The water was incredibly cold but clear as glass. I've got my eye on this place for some good wading and fishing this summer.
Ainars' car is just regular two-wheel drive but we were going down some pretty rough terrain. The ground is still frozen so solid that you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the mud. Now, getting stuck in the snow is a different story.
It was a great afternoon, we still have clear skies tonight and the low is forecast to be 16F.
Ainars and Laura
