my offer still stand re: postcards.
about today: i´m typing on a deadline. i have 7 minutes until this cafe closes.
so, i woke up this morning and hoofed it over to the Riga bus station. i got on the bus to Tallinn. on the bus i sat next to a friendly dutch girl by the name of Edith. i had some issues concerning stopping for a short time and not having time to change money and a certain lack of free restrooms in this area of the world...
after we arrived in Tallinn, i walked to my hostel and then walked into old town. i took many photos. i´m beginning to get the same sensations about renewal and renovation here as i did in Riga and Vilnius. i´m sure i´ll write more extensively about it next time. (as i will also tell you about the conversation i had last night that kept me up until 3...)
old town Tallinn is great. it's the only Old Town of the Baltic states that still has any portion of its city walls left. and it has a LOT of portions left. it's a beautiful city so far.
i just ate some indian food and my time is running out and i still need to check one more thing online... so that's it for today i'm afraid..
