Parachutist Camp

Skydivers
Parachutist Camp at Griva airfield near Daugavpils city, 230 km from Riga.
Since Riga skydiving club had moved its dropzone, everyone who would like to jump from a plane has to go to Daugavpils.
A price to get dropped out of the aircraft is 35 Ls (45) EUR, training included :)
BTW, maybe some of you are interested to make Riga city air tour.

Military Parade


Military parade of Latvian army on Lāčplēsis Day showing Latvian forces.
It could be compared to Red Square Parade :)
Even for me, patriot of my country, it is funny to see those lumbering cabriolet technic waddling on Daugavpils streets.
From whom they could protect us? What kind of great power they want to show?
