Back in time

We finished our lightning tour of Riga with its earliest surviving building. There are three here suitably named The three Brothers. The oldest house, the white one, dates from the fifteenth century. I couldn't help be mesmerised by its unique architecture as if Riga didn't already have enough to offer. To me it seems almost Mexican and wouldn't look out of place in a Western. But apparently this is what they built back then. Of course as you follow your map trying very hard to find all these gems you arrive to a crowd of tourists who've done the very same thing. But you still take it in as something personal.
