The idyllic town of Talsi, 95 mi/130 km northwest of Riga, is set among placid lakes and forested, rolling hills. The colorful wooden buildings and quiet, cobblestoned streets make this a delight for travelers with a bit of extra time. Be sure to view the mural in the kindergarten playground, and stroll into the residential areas to catch a glimpse of life in a rural Latvian town. http://www.talsi.lv.
