Laura and I have actually done very little traveling around Latvia. We stay very busy and when we get a day off we usually head to Riga for a movie, some sightseeing and shopping for essentials.
One place that we have visited before that has quickly become a favorite destination is Ventspils. This is a port town that has a nice harbor area and great beaches. We decided to take a day to drive over and enjoy the sights before the weather gets too much cooler.
When we were here last (for a Christian camp) the city was fairly crowded with tourists. This time everyone is back in school and we had the whole place to ourselves. The beach was quiet, the eating places uncrowded and no traffic.
We spent a lot of time at the beach looking for amber and just enjoying the great creation that is God's. Here are a few of our favorite pictures:
Bob sled runners (pushers?)made out of flowers....
Ends of logs that are sunk in the sand for a walkway...
Lots of pebbles and rocks on the beaches here...
Don't know what I was thinking about but I seem to be lost in thought....
Storm is coming in...
Lighthouse at the end of the breakwater....
Latvian pine forest....
Bluffs....
Is she doing this on purpose?
