Day 6 - Riga, Latvia

My tour of history and architecture in Riga, Latvia, was cancelled.  So, my only shots were from the ship.  It appears that Riga (and the small country of Latvia) is an example of contrasts:  old and new stand side-by-side.

Approaching Riga gives you a good look at the countryside of Latvia.

The only country where you had to go through customs while on the ship was in Russia.  Here's the port facility in Riga.

The Vision of the Seas docked right next to this bridge.

Riga is a land of contrast with old churches next to more modern buildings.

One of the options for the day was a trip to a local beach.
