We couldn’t take our tour bus to the restaurant tonight due to road closures for a marathon and street festival So we had to walk 25 minutes each way to dinner and back to the hotel It was a pleasant walk. Got to see some beautiful old buildings. Saw several cat themed things in town but it tour guide isn’t going to explain the significance until tomorrow

I just read up on the history of Riga and the association with cats. It's fascinating. I will let your tour guide explain the significance tomorrow. I hope you're having a good time.

You probably saw more going by foot and you'd have time to take it all in.
