We spent the day at the beach yesterday in Jurmala, the French Riviera of Latvia. A town about 25 kilometers from Riga, it has a 33km stretch of white sand beach that made it a popular vacation spot for former Soviet bigwigs like Brezhnev (big eyebrown) and Kruschchev. There are still lots of Russians to be found in and around Riga, actually 41 per cent of the population. We walked the beach, soaked up the sun and watched a few beach volleyball games.
