frog pond, shoshliks, and Smoglucks

Denis wanted to take us to a beautiful pond with lots of frogs and have a cook out. We were going to cook shoshlik on his portable grill. He picked us up, drove to his apartment to see where he lived, bought the meat for the shoshlik, and then drive to the park with the frogs. We had a great time with Denis Smogluck and his wife Jenna, and son Andre.

More Riga

Our last trip to Riga!


Delicious Hot Chocolate
It is just as thick as a melted chocolate bar and very DELICIOUS!

It was so good...but we shared because it was so rich!


Playing chess with the old men.

Jim got creamed - and loved every minute of it!

Another great memory!

Beautiful architecture












Spring Flowers - we don't see very many!
