Today Diks, Initina, Diks Jr., Elvis, and I all went to a small town next to Madona, and visited a castle. This castle was built by a baron for his lover. this castle was finished in 1892. there is a large pond next to it as well as a river that runs through the park. the castle is set on a few acres that is now a park.It was very beautiful. in 2006 it was called the most beautiful castle in lavtia, but a few weeks after receiving this title most of the second story roof burnt off. it was supposedly a problem with the heating system, but most latvian say it was jealous russians. here are some picture i took at our visit there. sorry im a bad photographer. poor Diks Jr. had a bad day today, he cried almost the whole time we were out of the house. but he fell asleep on the way home and after a short nap is much happier. he even said my name! and said i was pretty. he does not speak any english but Diks and Initina are hoping he will learn with me around.
