845. Riga, Latvia

Last month (when we had some friends visiting from Toronto) we took a weekend trip to Latvia and Lithuania. The scenery along the way was really beautiful as we just had a big snowfall. All the trees were blanketed in snow. It was truly a winter wonderland. I think I enjoyed the journey more than the destination. It's funny to think that I am from Canada but rarely witnessed scenes like these there, which is what foreigners probably think all of Canada would be like.

When we arrived in Riga it was already dark. Up here the sun goes down at around 3:30pm so we don't get many hours of sunlight in a day. Also by the time we settled in the hotel and went out for food, we realized there was a curfew in the city (due to COVID) and restaurants were just closing up. We ended up having no choice but to order pizza to eat in the room lol. So then the next day we explored the city a bit before heading to Vilnius, Lithuania.

Along the way we stopped at a "resort city" in Estonia called Parnu. This German restaurant was soooo good and cozy.

On the drive to Vilnius we turned in this snowy little neighbourhood

I think we have some more drone photos from here which I'll post next time..
