June 28: Riga, Latvia

We dock in the morning and after breakfast we disembark and enjoy wandering through the medieval old town of Riga guided by Rick Steves (that is, guided by his guide book!) Kathy begins to understand that Kurt's main interest in each of these new countries is gathering some local currency and coins for his collection. Kathy buys an umbrella, socks and a kitchen towel. While shopping isn't really our thing, we really do enjoy wandering through these old towns and learning about their history and culture. Back to the ship for lunch in the Grand Dining Room, an afternoon at leisure and and an evening pastel art class. We dine at the buffet and look back on a perfectly enjoyable day.
