The Beach Was A Bitch

What can I say. After +20℃ last week it was only +9℃ today! Still, the beach was all mine and it's about the best thing I like about Latvia.


We, Mrs. T & I, walk from Majori to Bulduri about every chance we get. This is part of my rehab as concerns my knee surgeries. It's about three km.



This is when you hit the beach at Majori and will eventually be called Club Habana or something. It's a noisy shit hole catering to the elites and specifically the NewWave music puke-a-thon.

I hate the NewWave thing. 



Continuing down the beach from Majori towards Buldari one runs across this hotel which is called The Lighthouse or some such. I wonder how many bribes were paid to get a permanent structure constructed right on the beach. Many?



But for sure not as many as Parex bank paid to get this fucking horror constructed! There's a big story behind it if you want to Google but essentially it's owned by the state now I think. No one knows what to do with it. I heard it's rented out for meetings and stuff but I don't think it's really utilized that much. There's always some guy wandering around the property, caretaker or something. Not a bad gig I figure.



But once you get past that monstrosity which is pretty much at Bulduri you are home free. It's pretty much quiet from there to Priedaine and beyond which is where I hide when the summer rush picks up and that horrid music festival destroys the peace.

But keep it to yourself, ok?
