A lovely day to go to the castle!
This blogger apologizes for a delayed posting. Yesterday was a very full day and I think we all felt the weight of our tiredness at the end. However, I don’t think anyone would have traded it for the world. (As I write this, I’m half-watching to Russian (which I studied) TV with Latvian subtitles so please forgive me for any typos!) We woke up in Tartu and had another wonderful breakfast of pastries, eggs, meats, and yogurt. Some of us actually were brave enough to try the herring! We boarded our buses again and headed to Riga, Latvia. It was an absolutely beautiful ride through the country-side with little houses and untouched snow. As Tess said, “A beautiful day to go to the castle”! Outside of Riga, we toured Turiada Castle and climbed to the top tower where we couldn’t resist singing of course. So. . another shout-out to Eric Barnum. We sang Responsorial #4: “Break forth into Singing!” More to come about our performance with the Men’s Choir of Riga Technical University. . .
