Latvia was our 25th and final country on our expat adventure. What a blessing to have seen so many beautiful places over the last 3.5 years.
Our day started out with pouring rain. We opted for the Hop On Hop Off bus to avoid the weather. We rode the entire route before hopping off and being greeted with sunshine. Great timing! We strolled around the city, ate lunch at TGI Fridays, and enjoyed watching the locals. It was a very short day, and thankfully the sun decided to show up!

| This picture will improve greatly with blue skies. |
 |
| The sky was getting really dark. Time to close the top of the bus! |
 |
| Nativity Cathedral |
 |
| Blue skies to enjoy the rest of our day! |
 |
| That is one language I am happy I don't have to learn. |
 |
| Enjoying a Latvian beer! |

Back on the ship, there was some time for the hot tub and swimming!
 |
| Jeremy didn't join us in Riga because he was learning how to be a pirate in the Kids' Club! |
 |
| We had quite a dance party that night on the ship! |
Our last day on the cruise was at sea. The plan was to spend the day swimming and relaxing. The Baltic had other plans for us. It was cold and rainy, so the kids spent a lot of the day in the indoor pool and playing pool.
 |
| That is not a real person. :) |
Just before dinner, the weather improved with a beautiful sunset to end the evening!
 |
| We loved out waiter! |
I think that is a pretty nice way to end a great cruise. Next up...three more days in Stockholm! Stay tuned!
Until next time,
Wendy
