Riga-mortis ...
... children in the area.
Elise's arty apartment is on the 6th floor (no elevators...that is a lot of steps to climb if you forget your handbag...about 125 if I remember rightly) and is located in what was part of the "Inner Ghetto" - the ghetto within the ghetto - and comes with a whole baggage load of it's own sickening history.

Storms at the Beach
... high carb nature of many of the meals is balancing the missed meals, small portions and exercise. Maybe I will weigh myself on the baggage scale on my next flight J
The bars are dead. I went to a few of the "hot" bars around 11 PM. Not more than a couple people in any of them. It is the middle of the week but there must be something else going on. I was going to go on a hostel pub crawl but they canceled because of a lack of people. Perhaps it is cafes ...
