FRIDAY PICTURES

It was a beautiful day in Cesis on Friday. A friend of ours was visiting from Riga and we had several errands to run so these are just a few of the sights.

The first one is of Ainars and shows his carpentry skills. Cesis is hosting an expo for local craftsmen and he is trying to get his enterprise off the ground. We staked him in this exposition so he is allowing us to use his 'outhouse' (just kidding around, of course). He really is a talented guy. We are hoping he picks up some good projects from the publicity at the expo.

A small outhouse that Ainars constructed. Outhouses in the country are a common here.

Seems to be well-constructed.

Nice BBQ on wheels. Great for shashliks.

On the other side of Cesis at the Kultura Nams, the local students were involved in a traditional dance contest.
