Yesterday betsy and I decided to go to the top of the hotel to get a view of the city of Riga from above. After we found the right bank of elevators we were a bit curious about a couple who were also waiting for this elevator. As they were locked in a rather warm embrace, we decided to use another elevator. They however on spotting us tried to engage in conversation and became more concerned about thanking us for coming . we rode the elevator. By the time we reached the top, we were best of friends, Inge and Alexander. Alexander ushered us all into the fancy, schmancy bar and got us seated. We weren't sure what was happening. They talked to each other and then they got up to leave. We asked for a picture, inge didn't stop, but Alexander came back. He asked another patron to take the picture and he planted himself between betsy and I. The man taking the picture said to Alexander "your nipple is showing, does that matter?" Alexander tried to adjust his white linen jacket as best he could and the following picture happened.
Lunch yesterday with friends in a Lido self serve. We tried many different dishes and shared. This is cold borscht with fresh dill and the other is hot beat and cabbage soup. Both delicious
