Rosh in Riga & the celebration of the New!

When the plane which brought the amazing smile of Rosh and thousands of memories from our time in Asia landed in the airport of my city I almost bursted into tears.. Emotions..

No snow in Riga as I promised before. Shame.
No frozen lakes.
No frozen sea.
Not even real cold.
Nobody remembers such a winter as this one..
Global warming?
I am powerless about this...

The days and nights passed in endless jam-sessions and talks, talks, talks.

A little bit of Hoki-Mai:)

Making the masks for the New Years party we actually never finished or used. But the charm of the process..

The old solstice tradition in Latvia "Kekatas" (going around village houses and bringing blessing before New Year)

A Latvian, Mauri and Livonian in a dark :)


The fortune telling, dances and craziness in a special place with special people. The Livonian coast and wonderful Livonian and very international youth.

Melting of our happiness for the next year (an old tradition)

And the magic of children




Happy the New!
