What do cobblestone streets, ornate architecture, and a surprise health scare have in common? They're all part of our unpredictable adventure through Eastern Europe! Join us, Jim and Rita, as we recount our travels from Warsaw to Vilnius and Riga. Our journey took an unexpected turn with a health challenge in Riga, but it didn't stop us from first exploring the city's vibrant history and culture. From the charming old towns and picturesque landscapes to the fascinating stories behind landmarks like Riga's House of the Black Heads, this episode is packed with unforgettable moments and insights. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or just dreaming of your next trip, our stories offer a blend of inspiration, humor, and a reminder that travel is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

As we wrap up our holiday travels, we're excited to share our progress on establishing our U.S. home base while balancing our health and travel aspirations. Stay connected with us through our blog, YouTube channel, and Instagram for more detailed accounts and visuals of our adventures. Plus, we've got our books and audiobooks available for those who want to dive even deeper into our travel tales. Engage with us, share your own travel stories, and let's explore the world together. Whether you're tuning in for the scenic landscapes, cultural insights, or just a bit of travel escapism, there's something here for everyone.
