Status Quo at the beach

After taking Lari to the central bus station, waving him goodbye till tomorrow and buying a ticket for myself, the weather was that great, and the weather report for the next days that lousy, that I decided to make it a day at the beach.
The train to Jurmala left soon enough, and I was in this nice old sea and holiday resort after a short trip of 30 minutes. The small center with the beautiful wooden houses wasn't as crowded yet with tourists as it certainly will be all over the weekend starting tonight with the ever partying youngsters.
Jurmala has seen better days, and maybe will again in a few years. But the beach is great anyway, the water was warm enough to swim in, even though it was no hot day with only 20 C. The sun was shining, and I enjoyed relaxing and strolling along the shore. Accompanied by some well known music: Staus Quo were having their sound check and rehearsing a bit. Great! :-)
I didn't wait for their concert in the evening, but went back home to Riga as soon as it got a bit chilly. I had to look for hosts in Latvia and Lithuania for the next week, and to pack for my weekend trip to Tallinn. World heritage...
