Yesterday, 28 July, on Roja beach at the large screen right on the sea shore, starting from 22:00, two black-and-white art films could be watched. The evening - or more precisely, the night - was fantastic: in the fresh sea air, settled on blankets brought along or folding chairs, sipping beer or cider, the audience spent four hours. For us it was a wonderful rest and cinematic pleasure.
For the fourteenth year running, the Wine Festival took place in Sabile from 26 to 29 July. Despite air temperatures exceeding 30 degrees at midday, there was no shortage of vendors, musicians, entertainers, or visitors.

I decided to look into the Riga Development Plan for 2006 to 2018.

Man-Tess has become even more brazen and now, along with the usual acetone-like smell which, it turns out, contains benzene and other carcinogenic substances, a constantly humming pump has for several weeks in a row been disturbing the nighttime peace of residents in the nearest buildings in Sarkandaugava.

It is a pleasure to see the Latgalians, who have made the long journey and, it must be said, are quite well represented at the festival. Right at the entrance from the corner of Merķelis and Barons Street, the people of the Ludza Crafts Centre have set up. Rag rugs are spread out in the tent, and a fire burns in the improvised blacksmith's forge. Nearby, clay pots bask in the sun on a twig fence.
