2 hour layover at Frankfurt International. There is a casino in it. Tricky tricky. At least they have the decency to put a screen with departure updates in it. Well, I was going to pull some Euros out anyways cause I wasn sure about the ATM sitch in Latvia. With some frugal strategy, I pull down 100 Euro profit.
Get to Riga. First impression, itś like pick up all the super modern, step below Armani shops in an upscale mall, throw them high in the air and see where they land. Pretty cool architecture but it just seems like itś trying to hard to be fashionable. Tell you tomorrow.
Right across my hostel is a casino where everyone is dressed like a pirate and there is a life sized, pirate scene panorama reminiscent of Disney World. Tell me it doesn bring Swingers to mind. So I cash in 30 Lats (creative name) which is like 60 bucks. I say if I double it, Iḿ out. I double it and a little more and set apart he double it portion. Over time, I end up quadrupling it, but finish simply doubling it. The key is, I won and had the will to walk away before trying to recover my losses.
I saw this 80ś movie with Delta Burke- true story- where sheś totally addicted to slots and borrows all this dough from the childrenś foundation she works for. Sheś at the supermarket and starts freaking out when sheś in the produce aisle with the bananas, apples. Iĺl keep you updated and may have to set up my own donation fund.

You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done
