Our cycling group has grown! On saturday morning I collected my visitor Alex from the airport. We spent the weekend in Riga. What came us a surprise was a town festival going on all weekend with music, dances, etc. on small and big stages all around the city. We managed to arrange a rented bicycle for Alex. Another surprise were two other German cyclists in town - I had met Samuel some weeks ago at a lakeside party in Nordhausen. He and his girlfriend Daniela had also come cycling here. We spent the evening together, sampling latvian specialities (mostly alcoholic ones). Ok, there also non-alcoholic ones. The Latvians are crazy about bread - there is very good bread, but also the delicious bread-drink Kvass and even bread yoghurt. The first night we spent at a hostel together with some Italian guys who were in Riga to search for Russian girls - funny guys though. Tonight we couchsurf at Kristaps, a very artistic guy - he forced us to draw something for him, so even Trabant did the best he could.
Tomorrow the cycle touring bootcamp for Alex will start - I promised her blood, sweat and tears, gnihihihi :o] !
