Bricked Gertrudes
Like most of the Riga Center's streets, Gertrudes iela is also paved with the historical brick, which is quite annoying if you do travel with a bicycle (again criticism :))

Flooded Road


Heavy shower flooded Riga today; the storm torn branches off the trees, so many streets, roads became blocked.
Thankfully it was very short rain, hence the traffic was limited just for some hours.
The picture was taken this Sunday afternoon on the exit from Riga Airport.

Lido

Lido
Lido Restaurant at Krasta is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Riga.
National Latvian cuisine, local own brewing and live music can be found in Lido.
It was opened in 1999 and initially was one of the cheapest food place in Riga. Indeed, you could eat as much as you can for 1-2 Lats (3-4 EUR), then times has been changed and Lido became a place with average prices.
After the crisis came, Lido was one of the first companies who had reduced their prices, almost in twice.
