Weekend again, travel another time ;-) On Saturday morning, David, Manuel, Estefania and me went to Liepaja to the Baltic Beach Party (our intention was to go on Friday (Scooter concert), there were no bus-train-plane tickets).

Sorry for the sound, but I don't know why my Pentax Option S6 records so bad the sound. WTF!

AEGEE Riga SU - Spanish party

Dancing! Yesterday it was the Spanish party in Riga SU. I think that everybody had a lot of fun (and maybe other things...). The Spanish team was cooking almost all the evening in order to prepare the most traditional Spanish dishes. Even though there weren't good material to cook, the opinion of all the people was the same: "How can I do this in my home??? It is delicious!!" Participants around the table. Participants around the table. In a cooking-break, Fernando started to play an Asturian bagpipe (I haven't heard it in live almost one year. I was near to cry!!!). Do you know how to play this game??? Bagpipe game

15 days in Riga

House of Blackheads 15 days since the arrival. 15 days of work. This is my summary. I spent almost all the time working in the office or at home with another projects. So I hadn't so much time for the entertainment. The weather was not so good, as you can see. Hopefully, it will change in the next days. One amazing thing from Riga: from the Flood to a sunny day it is only 1 hour and a half of difference. On Saturday, Manuel, Estefania and me walked around the Old City. At night, we cooked Pelmini (typical Baltic & Russian food). We tried to follow the advices from Miguel, a friend that lives now in Saint Petersburg. I liked it, but we should improve the receipt. About the night in Riga ... I hope that we chose the wrong place, because heard Simon & Garfunkel, Elvis and so on when you are in the party mood .. is not the best. Maybe next weekend will be different. And now, the photos!! A rainy day from the office window Manuel, Estefania and the cake mmmm With my flags Anti-S
