Very interesting. Just one advise. Try to not only to stay in Riga but also visit other places of Latvia. Especially Latgale (quite another world). I’m in Rezekne and you are welcome here. Would be nice to meet you here and have a chat.<br /> Regards.</p> I found this site quite by chance. Very interesting. Just one advise.

Turns out your hippy and my friend are one and the same! He is Alfreds Stinkulis, came out of LV in the late 70’s early 80’s as, being a true hippie, was persona non grata back in the ‘<span class="caps">SSR</span>. Look at the link<br /> http://www.hipiji.lv/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=90<br /> He has a Lithuanian doppelganger whose name escapes me right now. They are best of friends and run a ethnic jewelery business in LA called Baltic Crossroads together with Inguna G.<br /> http://www.thesilverlakenews.com/index.php?pageId=47718&action=listing&itemId=968266<br /> He also wrote a book long ago “Celojumi par Latvija” I think it’s called. He hoofs it around the country looking for stuff that interests him.<br /> Anyways, after that long reminisce, I want to thank you for bringing that back to me.<br /> I hope things are going well in your glorious return and if it’s going slow, you can write about Priev?š? Fredis!</p> Aleks,

I used to take quite a lot of taxis over there and met about one cab driver of Latvian ethnicity. And not many more with more of a command of Latvian language than I had.
