Back at home. Here it isn't winter either. Rather warm, but not rainy. Well, it had been in former winter wonderland.The weekend in Riga had been great: so many well known and loved places, so many well known friends! And a few new ones! :)
Since Lovas had forgotten about the keys, Jeena took over, and hosted me warmheartedly. We met Marta from Jurmala and Ieva Puke, a great travel writer and journalist, in the cafe with the best hot chocolate you can have (Emīla Gustava šokolāde), and later met Ieva at the Laima clock who had hosted me in Riga end of July last year.
There will be an article on all of us travelling with Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club in Diena, the biggest latvian newspaper, soon, they even sent their best photographer to take pictures of us!
We had a great time walking around Riga old town together, and after a lovely latvian dinner in my favourite small restaurant in the main busstation with a view onto the market halls (which they hadn't known about), they hugged me goodbye and I was off to the airport by the 4 pm bus. At 8 pm I was in my flat after a wonderful week up north. But it's quite fine to be home again, for a change!
