Any body traveling in Latvija and visiting Cēsis.

I would be gratefull if I could ask a favour. I have, as my Number 1 life anecdote my childhood summers with Grandparents in Cesis. I would send the story as it describe Cesis in the early and mid 30th, I would live to have “alk” or slow drive with camera to see if there is anything left of my childhood Cēsis.

Hi Monte!

My wife is from Cēsis and we spent some time there last July. We arrived just a couple of days after the 800 year celebrations so missed out on all of that.

Cēsis has changed in the five years I have been going there so I am very sure you would be “shocked”, hopefully pleasantly, if you were to return.

I think because of the 800 year celebration, the city made a lot of street work, with new stone block sidewalks. At long last, the street where my wife’s parents live, darzniecibas iela, was paved early this year.

I don’t know if I can deliver on the favour you ask, but if I can I will be pleased to try. I took a few pictures. I’ll try to find a way to post them on the internet for you if you want.
