    Knowing how adventurous you are, you definitely should have gone to Aerodium in Sigulda to fly in the wind tunnel. That company is one of the best in the world for this experience. They also hold the show in Olympic Games in Turin and helped filming some scenes with Tom Cruise in the latest Mission Impossible movie. Just some fun facts for y’all ;)

    I’m glad you got to experience a little bit of Latvia. My grandparents (on both sides) are from there. Your Latvia videos have increased my need to return and visit some more. It’s been about 26 years... hope you guys can get back to Latvia, and spend a little more time there as well. You guys missed so much!

    The old bobsleds, when they first started the tourist thing in the early 90's, were made of PVC pipe and sheets of foam, there was no helmet, no rollover protection, and you loaded the bobsled in the back of the military deuce and a half to haul it back to the top for the next load. The Olympians alternated with the tourists as the tourist money was paying in part for their training. The bob you used was pretty safe in comparison!

  • @riproar11
    @riproar11 4 роки тому +1

    During one of my visits in Latvia I stayed at a home an hour outside of Riga. During a day visit in Riga my pants completely split the same way while I was doing photography. Right near the RIMI grocery store in the Galleria there is a seamstress shop where you can hang out in a changing room for a few minutes while they stitch your pants back together.

    Kara and Nate I recently started watching your videos by recommendation of my sis in law. It has definitely helped keep my mind off of some of the covid stuff. I really enjoy how funny and bright you are, you get beautiful shots and images, but yet you are genuine in showing some of the tiring and tough parts of travel. Ps the main reason I finally commented is I absolutely love the movie cool runnings and love that you chose to incorporate a few clips for this vlog. Happy trails. -Manon

    Jūrmala. The J is not silent in our language. English ''yo'' and latvian ''jo'' (not an actual word) sounds the same. Just found out about your channel and I love your videos! I hope that you two really liked Riga!

      @riproar11 4 роки тому

      People should avoid saying "not bad" or "pretty good". Either it's good or it's bad, there is no in-between. It's either a repeat purchase or not. After good there's great, incredible or the best.

  • @susandibble3525
    @susandibble3525 2 роки тому +1

    Might I suggest that the reason they keep ripping in the same place is because your storing all that stuff in the pocket above 😉 might want to come up with a different wallet carrying option Nate 😎

    What a fantastic ride too bad about the pants but I remember way back in Thailand when Kara would want to shop and you would say no I wish she had said the same to you ha ha. With all these places around these cities that you are hitting now perhaps you should allow an extra day to see more. Once again great work stay safe
