We had plenty of time to tour around as it never gets dark there in the summer. The pace of life is very slow and layed back.
The people are interesting and the language is difficult--I came home with one word: "Aitih" [thank you]. Often times I felt like I had stepped back in time.
It is a beautiful place... take a peek!
"Old Town"Tallinn, Estonia
We climbed the tower of St. Olav’s Church
It was the tallest building in Europe in the 1500 and 1600s

The town is one of the most colorful places I have ever seen.
One of the many towers that makes up the old wall that surrounds "Old Town"
The 25th Song Celebration.
While we were in Tallinn over 300,000 people gathered together to celebrate Estonia's freedom on the Song Celebration Grounds.
What an impressive site to behold!
Peonies are one of my favorite flower and in Estonia they were everywhere and just stunning!I wish I could have bottled up the smell.
