Latvia: Riga

Today I got seven postcards: my first card from Latvia, two from Germany, one from the Czech Republic, one from Japan and two from Sweden.

Latvia is one of the Baltic states bordering on Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. Latvia is a member of the UN, the EU and the NATO.

The card shows the Blackheads House in Latvia's capital Riga during Christmas. In front of the Blackheads House the first Christmas tree of the World was arranged. The Historic Centre of Riga of which the Blackheads House is a part is since 1997 an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stamp:
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 11-04-2014)

Thank You very much Zane!
