The hunt for a black cat, a dragon and a peacock in Riga

I absolutely love the kind of missions where I have to find things hidden in plain sight. For my second mission in Riga I had to find a cat, a dragon and a peacock...

As usual I reached out to the community and in no time I got 3 locations. The hunt could begin...

NOW #RigaChallenge 2 • 'Find a black cat, a peacock and a dragon on a roof or facade of a building in Riga' This mission comes from the people of Riga and was crowd sourced yesterday. I'll need help from locals here so if you know people in Riga or Latvia who could point me in the right direction then tag them in the comments or share the picture with your friends. Paldies! Thank you! 😄👍 #RigaChallenge #TheBigCityChallenge

#TheBigCityChallenge in #Riga • First I found the black cat on top of a roof next to the Guild house. I found it with the help of Kristina on Facebook. The legend says that it's put their by the owner of the house who had a dispute with the people from the guild. They were very superstitious so he decided to let the cat look at the them. It's considered to bring bad luck. What a sly move 😄 #RigaChallenge

#TheBigCityChallenge in #Riga • It's Vita who told me the story of the Black Cat. We connected with each other via Facebook half a year ago because of our mutual friend Zane whom I met in Dawson City on my #MissionYukon last year. She invited me over to !Mooz her ad agency here in Riga. Small world... #RigaChallenge #SocialTravelSerendipity #SocialAroundTheWorld

#TheBigCityChallenge in #Riga • Not one but two dragons I found in the streets of Riga. I'm still looking for the story behind them. Anybody out there that could tell me? 😄 #RigaChallenge #TheBigCityChallenge

#TheBigCityChallenge in #Riga • Do you find the peacock on this beautiful art nouveau house? The street is packed with amazing art nouveau houses btw. The peacock is the symbol of the style. #RigaChallenge
