a Riga and surrounds

Flight to Riga was fine and taxied to Hotel Valdemars, where we stayed 9 years ago but it has been refurbished and is very nice.
Texted back and forth with Tante Solveiga who thankfully marshalled the interpreting and transport troops to meet us in Dobele today. Alfred, Vija, Ruta and Elza were wonderful and took us out to to mums house off Uzvares iela about 10km or so out of Dobele. So cold - minus 5 degrees and lots of snow but sunshine today and the house was showing its best face. The roof is ok and so are the walls. Just no doors on the two doorways and a pile of rubbish inside.

Mumäs place from 62 years ago...
Keyboard is all in Latvian and a little hard to type with so I'll leave it at that for the moment!
The whole house and nothing but the house...
