My dedication ride brought me to the "Katzensee" (lake of cat) - not quite the Baltic Sea :-)
On November 18 1918 nationally minded
politicians gathered in Second Riga City Theater (now known as National
Theater) and proclaimed the Republic of Latvia. Its a key date in
Latvian history when finally after long years of foreign oppression Latvians
took important steps to proclaim their country. Every year there is a
military parade in Riga and other national celebrations.
