Russian-Latvian Day

On Friday, July 6, our Russian and Latvian hosts took the reins to teach their American guests about Russian and Latvian culture. They dressed in traditional Latvian clothing. We were treated to a delicious Latvian lunch, and for dessert, Nika taught us how to make thin waffles with caramelized milk. 
Each homeroom prepared a presentation with their Latvian helper to teach the Americans about Latvian and Daugavpils history, Gzhel painting, Ligo flower wreaths and Latvian dance.                 
                                          Later, we came together to learn Russian games. At the close of Russian-Latvian day, we danced our new dance in unison. Thank you again to our Latvian and Russian hosts for a beautiful experience.
