Until I got a visa, I had to leave Estonia occasionally and take a ship to Helsinki, Finland. On one trip, I was in a lounge when a man walked in and began to sing very loudly in English and in Finnish. He was talented, but it was kind of strange.

I saw this cat looking in the window every morning in this apartment. In other apartments, cats would actually come in when we were not around and knock things over. In Estonia, as in many other places, stray cats are everywhere.

This is a historic reconstruction from an "open air museum" we visited. I actually saw a similar building elsewhere that was authentic. It had what looked like large tusks on the roof.
|
When applying for visas, we spent a week in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was an interesting city, but my Estonian didn't do me much good there.
|
Vilnius again--I don't know why, but I liked the view of this bus at the corner in front of the cathedral.
|
This is a place in Tallinn where a good percentage of the population of Estonia gathers every four years for a song festival. I missed it by a few months.
|
This is me standing in front of an attractive tree. |
This angel holds a cross and overlooks the Tallinn ports. I saw it often from the bus window, but one day I decided to walk downtown instead of riding the bus, so I could get pictures of a few things. These things include the last three pictures you have seen here.
