I love markets. I am not sure why, but seeing how people buy and sell
the simple things needed for life has always interested me. I like
commerce at the most basic level. I also like watching interactions,
the displays, and the peculiar things. I have never tired of taking
visitors to Pike place market, I think it is a lovely place to spend
time, and I could care less if it is "touristy". Riga's central
market was pretty special as well. Gorgeous flowers, fruits and
veggies, hangars dedicated to dairy and meat. I stayed the night in a
converted hangar right outside the market, so I went in and out quite
a bit. I took this picture as I was leaving Riga, and heading to
Jurmala, a little resorts place on the Baltic sea. I booked a night
at a swanky place so I could get a massage, walk on the beach, and
hopefully find a working fax machine somehere in Latvia (needed to
reserve Paris accomodations).
