SOLDIERS

As so often happens here, we just seem to stumble upon something that we wish we knew more about. Sunday night we were out walking and came upon this military ceremony in downtown Cesis. After watching it for awhile, I think it was actually a dress rehearsal for some big event later on...maybe during the Jani holidays.

The dark green uniforms are from Estonia and the rest of the military are Latvian. There is a training base in Cesis so possibly this was some type of combined exercise. Even though it seemed to be a ceremonial event these soldiers had some serious weapons.
