Estonian Excursion

Last October, Andreas and I took a last minute trip to Tallinn, Estonia. We got it really cheap, since it was last minute. The hotel we stayed at was called Telegraaf. It was a five star hotel. Boy did we get good service. It was so nice.



When we arrived at the hotel, Andreas arranged to surprise me with flowers and chocolates. There were also rose petals on the bed. It was so romantic. He really outdid himself.



The next morning we headed out into town. The inner part of Tallinn is very quaint. The architecture is medieval. However, outside of that little part of town, it's not so inspiring. It just seemed like a very sad place to be.


We walked around a bit and did some shopping. I did get a cute hat there! Other than that, we preferred to spend our time at the hotel. How sad is that!



By the way, we found out that Tallinn actually means Danish city. Apparently it was conquered by Denmark at one point in time. How appropriate it was for us to visit!

yo amy, your bike is adorable.

hey, we did all kinds of danish things with our danish cousins who were here for christmas. We held hands and danced around the tree. We ate pudding and whoever got the whole almond won the marzipan pig. Oh, cabbage too but it looked pretty yucky. i can't remember what danish song we tried to sing before we ate the pudding....so do any of those things go on at your place during the holidays???? we thought it was a real hoot. Then we held the nativity dash, which of course is a tradition we stole from aunt juneal.
