First we had to duck into the Black Swan Kafija for a coffee and an interesting Russian cookie thing to get out of the rain. Coffee in Latvia is universally of high quality and strong the way we like it.
Cesis has its own castle
and lots of nice restored buildings, but its main shopping street is under reconstruction.
We stopped in the city park for a little birdwatching.
Bird of the day: Scandinavian Nuthatch
The old city gate has been partially reconstructed and turned into a flower garden.
In the afternoon we did a nature hike along the Gauja River.
But there were more birds in the city park. No canoeists in sight on this rainy day.
