had nice days running up the hill to neighbours after fresh milk and eggs so i can have traditional desert for lunch called "sambuks"
had 2 older cousins who used to scare me and then come to apologise afterwards with the sweets they didn't like.  |
Hi evanny, this is so very interesting. do you have any photos of that area at all. I shall start looking at some maps.
That fall you had on your snowboard sounds very serious. Just as well the helmet did actually protect you. do you still snowboard? You'd get on well with GONATIVE I bet. I shall look up Cesis on the net see if I can get some idea about it. I will be honest-- I know nothing about Latvia so thanks so much for telling us a little.
