WEEKEND IN CESIS

The city-wide festival was well attended and as usual, gave us many good photo opportunities. Music, street vendors, craftsmen displaying their wares all contributed to nice view of the Latvian culture. The night was topped off by a big theatrical production in the park. It was well attended (by the number of people passing by our apartment windows) but we decided to pass on this one.

Restored radios from the 1940s, 50s, 60s...all in in good working order.
