Cesis

Kaija, Ilze, Andi, Julia and myself went to Cesis to check out the castle. They have a lot of castles in Latvia. It was a very snowy day, which was unexpected because it was not snowing in Riga. When we arrived the castle was closed but we were able to get in in 10 min. after they opened. :) We walked around the part of the castle because there were two drunk men who were able to get over the walls. We had to wait to explore the old part until the men left. We went up creepy stairs that needed light to help us find our way. We all had to carry candles in a lamp carrier. It was pretty cool. We didn't spend a lot of time that day in Cesis. We took the 2:00 bus which got us home around 3:30. There are a lot of places to explore in Latvia, and I haven't covered much ground. But as soon as it gets a little bit warmer, I will be on the go!
