Session in the forge

Yesterday we head to Cēsis (an old friend) to have a meeting between several heads and deputies of the latvian culture investigation, attending in the forge of Mister Daumants Kalnins, a traditionalist blacksmith who also is part of the Cēsis´ Castle crew, showing and making several of the ornaments emulating the ancient jewelry of the latgalians.
  So that it was, people gathering telling their stories, backgrounds. As they were from the latvian culture field there were songs, storytelling and some joke poetry as well. I wasn´t able to tell my legend from my village (it was already hard to introduce myself, so imagine) but still there was enough people to fill the place of voices and enough food to eat.

Mr.Daumants Kalnins pleased by the visit.
