Peaceful Bliss in the Huge City Purciems

We arrived at the little place called Purciems, which had a city sign, but no city to be seen. I saw the sign and had to stop because I was laughing so hard. We were in the middle of the forest and there was a sign for a city. There were actually about 5 houses and a camping place in Purciems, so you could definitely call it a city. The apartment where we'd live for the next 2 days was absolutely amazing. Our host Romena welcomed us warmly and showed us around the flat. It was looking so sweet and cozy, we were extremely happy. The garden we looked at was huge and Aluna immediately made a new friend. Romenas dog Ru liked Aluna a lot. Maybe a bit too much for her in the end. But of course did she sneak in to steal some food from him. After a decent hot dinner (Yumyum soup, don't you judge), we dediced to check out the beach that was only 300m away from the house. And we weren't let down. Such an amazing beach again! The softest sand and the loneliest place. It was absolutely stunning. I would have never imagined Latvia to be so good.
Drinking our beer and playing with Aluna in the sand felt like the best holiday I've had in ages. No time pressure, nowhere to be, it felt great.
But the sun was setting, so we went back to our flat to relax after a long day. Romena saw us coming and brought us a Local specialty to try. Sklandrausis is sweet bread with carrots and potato's, topped with some sweet cream. It was delicious and the perfect end to this perfect first day.Read more
