Market

At the bottom of the old town is where the Jewish ghetto was situated. On route we passed through this huge indoor market, apparently the largest in the Baltic. We were on on quest to locate Moscow Street, or Maskavas, as it's now called. It marks the beginning of the ghetto and also the museum. As we asked for directions I got the feeling people were wondering why we were there. Down here far fewer people spoke any English and my Latvian consisted of two words: hello and thanks. But it's surprising how far that gets you when mixed with sign language.
