Happy Independence Day, Latvia

House of Blackheads, Riga
Sveiks!

It's Independence Day in Latvia, where Mrs. Marathon Pundit was born, well, some time ago.

Below you will find a collection of my favorite posts about our NATO ally on the Baltic Sea!

And today only, the home page of Bing.com is blessed with a photograph of the old city of Riga, Latvia's capital.
