It's near the end of our fourth year in Latvia yet we haven't celebrated Latvia's most important holiday yet... that is, until this year! Jani and Ligo are the dual names for Latvia's ancient midsummer celebration. This pagan tradition remains the holiday that Latvians look forward to most for all that it represents: family and friends, nature, and summer. This year, we decided to host the celebration on our new land plot in order to bestow our piece of earth with some positive energy and love. A good time was had by all even though we didn't quite make it through the night -- we passed out by 1:00 a.m., just when it was getting dark.
