Latgalija
I have several pictures I was going to upload some time ago, and still haven't. For couple of days in August Andrej's parents took us to Latgalija, one the cultural regions of Latvia. We didn't go to see any towns, but rather stayed in a little house in the forest next to some lake. Lovely time

First picture is best picture of you ever, like from some movie:) And I also liked second one from the end.
niice :) this place looks lovely! and i really like the pic with the hammock ;)
Great, I'd also like to go there and maybe learn some more latgalian :). Latvians call it ezeru zeme as well. And the name of it is Latgale, it's Latgalija in russian ;).
Thank you :) And I learned a new word - hammock which I have never heard of before... good to know ;)
yeah, yeah, I know it is Latgale, but it doesn't sound nice, at least for me, I prefer Latgalija, which is also in Lithuanian.
For me Latgalija sounds very Russian :P. How do you call Zemgale in Lithuanian - Zemgalija?
I don't know, actually it is the first time I hear that, but I checked wikipedia and it is called Žiemgala :)
I checked with wikipedia as well - Latgale in Lithuanian is Latgala :P.
ha :) you are right! in fact i never heard anyone saying in Lithuanian Latgale, so somehow I assumed it is Latgalija :)
Ok, I guess that now you'll know already too much in too many languages about Latvian regional geography :D
birches rule!!!!
