Alan and I arrived in Riga – after a short trip around the world – late on Saturday night. We spend much of the day Sunday relaxing and getting used to the new time zone (and the intense heat). We did set out to explore Old Town Riga which is only a few blocks from our hotel.
I posted about thirty pictures on our Flickr site. The town is charming and very European. The sun does not set here until almost midnight so there is constant energy in the streets – performers, vendors, music and dance, etc. And there are some interesting sculptures as well!
My presentation this morning at the international conference on special education was well received. I’ve had lots of positive feedback throughout the day. I’ll be attending other presentations tomorrow and Wednesday is set aside strictly for sightseeing!
