July 15th TALLIN ESTONIA!

After a natural rising, we disembarked on our Estonian adventure!

Strolled through a small open market, previewing our later purchases
then boarded a "Hop On Hop Off" tour bus. Were guided through the
New town but Hopped Off at the Wall-enclosed Old Town.

First stop Cathedral of Aleksander Nevski. Old Russian Orthodox and
a favorite! Lit a few candles for all the Zuckowskys. (Love ya mom!)
In the cathedral was a young Russian Orthodox priest.. very serious.
Watched a little girl fill up her empty water bottle with Holy Water.

Wandered the cobblestone streets and found a few of our must-sees!
-St Nicholas Church Museum--entered to an organ recital
-Old Dominican Monastery--at first wandered into an art gallery to
a very perturbed artist at work.. OOPS. Then found the real thing.
Beautiful!
-REVAL.
-They sell liquid Cannabis... we had to hold Sue back from the register!
Found some good lunch and Estonian beer, then got temporarily lost
and turned around to soon be caught in a downpour.. Made the best
of it finding a good shop.

Made our way back to the bus stop to find the next Hop On time wasn't
for an hour. Lightning started and we got a cab with a couple from Ghana.

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!
Returned to a now flooded open market but that wasn't to stop us.
We would shop.

Yummy dinner in the Four Seasons and going to see a musical tonight about
London in the 60's. Hoping for some Beatles!

ST PETERSBURG TOMORROW! is anybody reading this?!
