I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Latvia and Estonia over the summer of 2018 with my family. Having grown up in Latvia, my grandparents speak fondly of their memories and have inspired me to honor my heritage through photography. Here are some snapshots from this beautiful country!
(Riga) - Tea is a very popular beverage in Latvia. In this photo, my family and I are enjoying some tea from at an Uzbek restaurant in Riga. Eastern Europe (including Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia) and much of western Asia were part of the USSR before it collapsed.
(Jūrmala) - Jūrmala is a popular coastal destination and resort town close to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Many of its restaurants feature quaint interiors and Art Nouveau-style architecture.
(Talsi) - Many Latvians are cat people. When it’s nice out, there are plenty of friendly cats roaming the streets!
(Talsi) - Talsi is a small town in Latvia filled with colorful houses and cafes, and its lake is very picturesque!
(Pärnu, Estonia) - We took a day trip to Estonia to visit Pärnu, another coastal resort city. The ocean is cold in the summer but the pictures are always great!
(Riga) - The vast city of Riga is most famous for its medieval Old Town section. While often overlooked, the Art Nouveau district also boasts beautiful architecture!
