Sounds like a wonderful tour. I must confess to not knowing nearly as much as I should about Estonia's history, so having such a knowledgeable guide would be a blessing.

I knew very little about the country prior to this and she just brought it alive for us. So great!

Reminds me of John le Carré spies' stories... So, now, St. P.!
(can't wait for photos...)

I loved the story about the 23rd floor - it so reminded me of UNCLE and all that James Bond-y stuff!

We have a pretty good connection today, so I am going to try again with the photos. Fingers crossed!

followed by a beef consommé with patachou balls

I can't BELIEVE you ate Svetlana's cat. Shame on you!!!

Should have been petite patachou balls (silly, Patachou is a girl cat, she doesn't have balls!) Pate choux is the actual spelling, but in the menu, they wrote it as patachou. I couldn't resist...

I have friends that go to Estonia often. They've always said how warm and friendly the people are. It sounds beautiful, I'm glad you're having a lovely time!

Of all the places we have visited so far, I would go back to Estonia in a heartbeat. I just really loved the feel of the city and I would love to learn more about their legends. It's on my 'to do' list when I get a few minutes of free time.

I enjoy learning more about the three countries that weren't for a while but Estonia I knew so little about so off to look into it a bit more. Thanks to your descriptions it will seem more alive now.

It is a lovely country and it has such a proud past and an even prouder future. I will be coming back here, no doubt about it.
