Eastern Europe - Part I

Hello remaining blog checkers. First, I am sorry that it has been a while between blogs, but we are in 4 different places at the moment, so, we're a bit of a mess.
Second, this is an incomplete blog, because the computer here in Riga is unable to read CD's as it's a piece of poo. But, as soon as possible, I will update this blog (or do a new one, whatever is easier).

So, as I said, I'm in Riga. Highlights here have been some Spainish and Italians playing "Monopoly" and the Italian saying "you still owe me twenty eighta dollars." It brought great happiness to this me for this age old sterio-type.
Also, I fired an AK 47, much like Melon, Hengel and Morto before me. However, I managed to get a couple of photos, too.

This was the entrance. A little off putting, particularly as I was on my own.

And this is me with the fabled AK47. What a gun.

There were also these gaurds marching around the "Freedom Monument" here in Riga.

And this character that some of you will remember from John Safrans "Music Jamboree," the "Music Mole."

(that one goes out to Gareth)

In Lithuania, I went to the "Hill of the Crosses" but at the bus stop, I found this giant strawberry, who looked a bit out of it.

Also, in Vilnius, there is a statue (and possibly the only one it the world) of "legendary" rocker, Frank Zappa.

Now, as it is the Spring Racing carnival at the moment, I am sure that many of you a dolling yourselves up and heading off to the track. Now, some of you may need some help, so here are some suggestions from the Baltics. (Please note: more to come.)

For the men:

For the ladies:

So, like I said, sorry it's a bit short on photos, but there will be more to come soon, I promise.

So, as alway, love to all, esp. the people who bother to comment, (or send futsul pump up emails).
