Tallinn Highlights

This weekend, the study abroad group took a trip to Tallinn and Riga. After an overnight bus trip from Thursday to Friday morning, we woke up to a great breakfast in Tallinn, went on a walking tour of the medieval city center and then basically wandered around for the next day and a half. This included drinking chai at a coffee shop older than the U.S. of A., seeing some sweet overlooks, eating pancakes as big as our FACE and spending too much at the cutest little shop. Enjoy -some- of the highlights:


"Hey guys! I want a picture of y'all!" And instead of getting together, you know, smiling and everything they just start 'arguing'...typical.


Jonathan's sly little look...classic.


The red roofs always get me on these views. If you take a gander to the left you'll notice a little strip of sea. Across it lies Finland, which a few of us took the ferry to visit for an hour or so. I stayed in Tallinn, waiting until Mom gets here to explore Helsinki.


After that overlook, I turned around, took a left and saw this big white wall. Not sure why I liked it so much, but it jumped out.


I wandered alone for a while and loved it. There was an artist who sat and painted on this road, you can barely see him. His art was beautiful.


The streets. These streets were so fun to walk up and down and all around. The shops and apartments were such pretty colors even through the cloudy day. 


Riga tomorrow.
