Läti-Valka nägi seevastu väga kena välja. Kahjuks seal eriti pilte ei teinud, olin lattide kulutamisega "hõivatud" :D (eks ikka jäätis ja Laima šokolaad, ei mingit hullumeelset poodlemist). Lätlased - mul on siiralt kahju, et teiegi liitute Euroga, sest oma valuutast paremat ei ole...mina vist jäängi kroonides mõtlema ja neid taga igatsema.
Viljandis peatusime sel korral veidi pikemalt kui tavapäraselt. Tahtsin rippsilla/lossimägede juures ära käia, sest viimati käisime seal vist siis, kui olin nelja-viiene. Ja tuleb tunnistada, et selle väikese jalutuskäigu jooksul armusin Viljandisse ja ei jõua uut külaskäiku ära oodata. Jooksin ringi nagu peata kana - nii palju oleks pildistada ja nii palju vaadata (aga nagu ikka jäi aega väheks).
It was our annual round-trip time to Valga to visit our relatives. We also went to Valka in Latvia and stopped for an hour in Viljandi. It was sad to see that Valga was a bit tired-looking and many buildings were in a bad condition. I really like abandoned buildings, but it seemed as though lately the amount of them in Valga has increased greatly. We saw a couple of empty apartment buildings in Kaagjärve and although the sight might not be *that* unusual in smaller places in Estonia, it was still the first time for me to see anything of that sort.
I must admit that Valka in Latvia was mighty fine, though! Unfortunately I was too "busy" spending lats (no crazy shopping - how could I leave Latvia without buying ice cream and Laima chocolate :D) so I didn't take any photos. Latvians - I am so sad that you will also be joining the Euro because there is nothing like having a currency of your own...I know I still think in Estonian kroons and will always miss having them as our currency.
We also spent a little more time than usual in Viljandi. I wanted to go to the Viljandi Suspension Bridge/ruins of the Viljandi Order Castle because the last time we went there, I was about four/five years old. I must say that during that little walk I completely fell in love with Viljandi and can't wait to visit again. I ran around like a headless chicken because there was so much to see and take photos of (but as usual, there wasn't enough time to do it all).
