TOI TOI HERE, TOI TOI THERE,



TOI TOI NO WHERE!!!

A visit to Tallin, Estonia, even as short as our 5 hour visit, was very special. In summer, the famous UNESCO square was filled with cruise ship visitors, travelers, and shop keepers…totally full….people everywhere. Very crowded!

We were looking for wifi and had only a 30 minute free time period. We were unable to download the BLOG (which is unrelated to the EWOK).

As a part of the UNESCO designation, it appears that all toilets must be outside the designation area. Thus our TOI TOI was a quick trip back to the Ship Pier to use the Terminal facilities….


The most fun was visiting the most ancient pharmacy in all of Europe...from the 1400's.


NOW A MUSEUM -- FORMERLY A PALACE OF ONE OF THE RUSSIAN RULERS
(maybe Catherine I, married to Peter the Great -- oh, Becky, please no more family trees.)

SAILING IN THE OLYMPIC PARK 
(from 1980, when US and other countries
boycotted the Russian hosts.)

STE BRIGITTA CONVENT CHURCH
(it's old, open air venue for opera, for example)
Nuns live in new convent next door.

ST OLAF'S CHURCH (now a Baptist Church)

STREET SCENE -- VERY COLORFUL

TALLINN CITY WALL
