Going to Latvia? Great Resource

If you are going to Latvia, check this site out for Patricia Tourism before you go and bring their number with you for help while you're there. The owner, Mike Johnson, speaks speaks English. He is from San Francisco, now living in Latvia. He can add minutes to your phone remotely (for a small fee but it’s so convenient!), call you a cab, draw you a map, look things up for you on the internet, etc. etc. They also have hotels and apartments, tours and other services. He was extremely knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever we needed, even when we needed a computer to print some documents. Now, as far as a cab, you may think you can call your own cab, which is true. However our experience last year with cabs was getting completely ripped off by one and waiting 45 minutes for a ride with another, while they called every 15 minutes saying they didn’t have a car to send, then they did, then they didn’t... The cab service he recommends is Red Taxi, which I heard from some locals was more expensive, but every time we used them they were very dependable and their rates seemed very reasonable to us.
