As a kick-off to our Spring Break week, we are heading off to Moscow via an overnight train in just a few short hours. After a weekend visiting Moscow's famous sights like Lenin's Mausoleum, Red Square, the Kremlin, and Saint Basil's Cathedral, I will be jetting off to Vilnius, Lithuania to spend a few days touring the Old City and hopefully seeing Trakai Castle and the Hill of Crosses (if I can manage to find the right bus!) My week of travel will conclude with a few days in Riga, Latvia where I am taking a walking tour of the city and a COOKING CLASS!!! (can you say dream come true?!)
I know absolutely nothing about traditional Latvian cuisine, but will be guided through Riga's Central Market (one of the largest markets/bazaars in Europe!) to get the ingredients needed to make Latvian soup, root vegetables and meat, and sweet cakes, as well as the opportunity to taste some other Latvian specialties. I am looking forward to a relaxing yet adventurous week in the Baltic region of Europe and can't wait to hop on the train tonight and let the Spring Break adventures begin!!!
See y'all in about a week!!
