Here are some more nostalgic shots.  These are from my trip to Riga, Latvia, in September, 2004.  I just returned from a deployment to Bahrain, and this NATO trip was on my schedule.  I was preparing to move to a division chief job, so I was handing my old job off to a co-worker.  The upper floor of the Reval Hotel Latvia (rebranded the Radisson Blu) had a bar with a panoramic scenic view.  You can see the reflection of the windows in the images.  After several months of 130F temperatures, the lovely fall weather of Latvia was just the ticket!

Okay.  Okay.  One of those is not at a distance, but The Bremen Town Musicians bronze statue is a classic, and it was fun to see.
