I have no digitals of the other 2 cemeteries where our Grandfather's grave site and our Father's parent's grave site was. Just took regular shots of it.

Anyway--We did visit some people and places--but not everything would be of interest to you all. So, our next "stop" is back in Riga the next day.
Visiting the "Occupation Museum" is a must! It just opened recently--it's nor big, but it is filled with collected photos, information, memorabilia and a lot of printed out, historical information posted all throughout the museum for people to read and learn what all went on.

This was a most serious place to visit, as we all have grown up knowing bits and pieces of what happened. It is a most somber place to visit.
This plaque tells a short history of what happened on that one horrible night of June 14, 1941. The saddest day in out country's History.
