Tallinn: Churches, Museums, and Vistas

Posted on June 11, 2009 by Gandalfe

We visited the Baltic republic of Estonia today and I ended up taking 200 pictures in just 3 hours. Every corner of this ancient town was full of unique hand-made architectural delights, towers, walls, and gates.

The people are lovely, the drivers manic, and guides well educated.

And of course the graffiti is ever present:

So where are the hundreds of other pictures. I’ll be posting them to my flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/Gandalfe when I get home to my zippy FiOS Internet connection. Prost.

    So interesting! The cobbled streets and the people as well as the architecture.
