The View From My Window #7: Briefly In Riga

I was reminded the wonderful thing about briefly traveling 900 miles north from your home in the dead of winter is that the sun doesn't come up until 8am which works out well when sleeping in a room with no curtains on the windows.  Here is the view from my window today in Riga, Latvia as we are stuck here for a little while as the largest airline in Ukraine, called Aerosvit, has seemed to have gone out of business and cancelled all their flights.

It's more than a little inconvenient but it could have been so much more difficult if we didn't have family friends in Riga.  And now onto the dreaded task of trying to get full refunds on our tickets.
