Black Tie Event

Rhonda and I attended our first black tie event in Latvia. It was Burn's Night. He was a Scottish poet who died 250 years ago. The night started out very nice and formal. Then came the Chivas Scotch. You can see how it ended for at least one of us.

Bunker Tour

Over the weekend we were able to tour a Soviet underground bunker here in Latvia. When the Soviets left Latvia in 1991 left left this bunker in tact. They pictures are artifacts left in the bunker. The bunker in large enough to hold 250 high ranking officials in case their was a nuclear attack. It still has all the maps, radio equipment, communication systems, and the RED phone. It was an amazing tour.
