My permit has come in!!

I went to the Estonian Embassy in Riga this morning and they told me that my pass hadn't arrived. I was livid. But, as it turns out, they just hadn't opened the package that it was in. So, because some incompetent person who didn't open all the mail, I almost had to wait another week here in Riga.

On the way back to the hostel I promptly walked past the Freedom Monument and took a picture of myself. And then all the way walking back I was protecting my bag as if someone was going to try to rob me now that I had something worthy of stealing. And I was extra careful as I was crossing the streets as if I was going to get hit by a car or something.

Me + the Freedom Monument.

This is the happiest I have been in a LONG time!!! :)
