Sorry to sound like the Estonian Tourist Bureau, but Tallinn, Estonia, is a wonderful medieval town, set on a hill overlooking the sea, with super nice people. That alone makes it as different from Moscow as you can stick a pin in. We are having a lovely rest and are sad to be leaving after three days. I'm not sure I would appreciate this town as much if it hadn't been after a Moscow winter, but I just find this town incredibly charming and relaxing. It's a mix of Scandinavian meets the "whew, we're not part of Russia anymore, let's party" sensibility.

Larry: they even served us beer at breakfast when we arrived on Sunday morning.

We are off to Riga, Latvia, tomorrow via bus. We have never traveled on a bus with Sasha before for five hours. Ought to be interesting. Please, let the DVD player batteries last...
