It sucks being back home. . .:-(


Though I know many people hanging around in these parts are glad to have me back in SFF blogging mode, I have to admit that I terribly miss backpacking around Eastern Europe. I realize that a rainy day in Helsinki or Riga beats a rainy day in Montreal, hands down!

The toughest part of coming to terms with the fact that the adventure is over is when you go through your digital photos to select those that you will get done. In my case, that meant reviewing over 1200 pictures. But now that the final cut has been decided upon, it's pretty much the end of the road for me.

I couldn't help but smile when I came across my very own SI swimsuit issue, which was a covert operation while I was exploring the various beaches of Jurmala, Latvia. I have one of those compact digital cameras that fit in your pocket, so I didn't have any of those great zoom lens permitting me to capture the natural beauty of the Latvian women in all of their splendor. No, this was an undercover gig from the get-go, with me risking my health by taking snapshots of sexy girls and trying to make sure that jealous boyfriends would not knock my lights out in the process. Surprisingly, I came up with quite a few pics that my friends (the guys, it goes without saying) will find artistically appealing!;-) Those on Facebook should see a couple of them!

In addition, I was pleased to discover that Club Essential (the biggest club in Riga) posted pics of the night we were there. Thankfully, Yours Truly didn't make the cut, but many fine ladies did. I poked around their website for a few minutes, and here's a couple of reasons to consider visiting Riga.

The gorgeous blonde with the shot glass at the top of the post just downed a Pirag -- vodka, apple juice, and cinnamon -- after which you bite into a piece of orange. Quite good, yet I wouldn't want a hangover from that alone.

Ah, Riga. . . If only I could be there right now!;-)
For the record, Club Essential wasn't particularly the shit. Especially not with those expensive drinks! But the scenery, as everywhere else in beautiful Riga, was arresting!:p

Ok, since most guys seem to be unwilling to say this, I just want to point out that I'm officially starting to save my pennies for a trip to Riga as of today!!!;)

Aside from the natural beauty in the first picture, these girls look skaggy to me! Reminds me of boys weekend in Vegas last year with the strippers... It's a shame to see that the Western "hooker chic" look has spread to Europe! I'll take the Parisian girls; Pat, you get the rest of Europe...

Hooker chic????

Hot damn, I see nothing wrong with any of these girls. None look like whores to me...

They don't look like hookers to me, either, or if they are, they're first class. :)

But to get me to visit Riga you better post some pics of the renovated old Hanseatic houses and such. :p

Funny, because I'm from Riga and those girls are not whores and those 4 girls on third picture, they are 16/17 years old, they like Club Essential because of guys like you, who will buy them drinks, but I can guarantee- there will be nothing more. but good thing around here- we have cheap whores, 20ls per time, but they are ugly as hell hehe
