Have you ever been in Latvia?

No I have not heard of it. I asked my husband and he gave me a blank stare. Just wanted to welcome you to mylot. Have a nice Easter.

Latvia is a country in Northern Europe. Latvia shares land borders with Estonia to the north and Lithunia to the south- and both Russia and Belarus to the east. It is separated from Sweden in the west by the Baltic Sea. The capital of Latvia is Riga. Latvia is one of Northern Europe's most exciting places hidden away from the world's view for over half a century by the Soviet occupation. Prior to the occupation, Latvia was one of the most dynamic parts of Europe with exciting possibilities. After the collapse of the Soviet system, Latvia is struggling to regain its strength and place in the world. There is a lot to do and see in Latvia from the untouched nature to the historic buildings dating back to the days of the great trading in the Hanseatic League. You can also see elements of the Soviet leftovers - this makes you step back and wonder what could have been without those awful years.
