I've been wanting to go for a while. I am a big fan of eastern Europe and love the cities there. Prague is magnificent.
I think I will have to visit Riga later on this year (probably in Oct/Nov).
I am glad you had a great holiday. I hope you did not buy the mug!

I went there a couple of years ago and I loved it there too. It's a beautiful city, the locals are friendly and the culture is interesting. Our stay coincided with a nice cultural event. Thousands of school kids marched the streets for several hours, singing and dancing and wearing nice clothes (many wore the national costume). It was a fun day.
I also love the Latvian food. I did not experience problems with prices though, the prices I saw were pretty reasonable.
I can really recommend Riga, it's a great place to visit. I would like to go there again one day.
