And so here is the last post about our autumn trip. Riga. My home town. I am always happy to come back. Happy to see my family, my friends, to visit my favorite places and hear my native language. Oh, language… I have so many languages around everyday that very often I have feeling I am not able anymore to speak decently even one… English, Italian, French, Russian, Latvian…
This time children really enjoyed to stay in Riga, to play with our neighbor children, to visit some special places in the town. On the first day we even got some snow but then it melted… and came back beautiful autumn weather with golden trees and foggy air.
Probably the best part of the week in Riga was a date night with my husband! As we don’t have any helpers here in Italy we are always surrounded by children and we go everywhere with them. But in Riga finally we could have a real date night and we went to see ballet Anna Karenina in Riga’s Opera House. It was BEAUTIFUL! Sad, but so beautiful. Riga’s ballet is still really great! It is sad to admit but many talented people are going away, they find much better positions, well paid, somewhere in Europe or elsewhere and abandon Riga. (By the way, did you know Mikhail Baryshnikov was born in Riga? :-) Yes, the one who played Aleksandr Petrovsky in Sex and the City…) Well, the fact is that the ballet in Riga is still really strong and really great! The main dancers were just fantastic and the performance was so well made… I even shed a few tears at the end…
P.S. Later this week I will announce the winner for the giveaway (you still can enter!) and I hope to release new patterns soon as well!
