Amber is woven into Latvian identity, the country calls itself a land of amber, and the Baltic shore from Liepaja north gives it up after autumn storms; the museum at Ventspils and the craft trade run on it. The Amber Road carried this stone to Rome two thousand years ago. PUBLIC beachcombing along the open coast, best after a westerly gale.
