Talons.

It occurs to me that I never mentioned our last day in Tallinn.  Pop and I wandered around the city pretty hardcore.  Pictures.  To note: the hotel we stayed in was sorta nice, but it was the first experience I had with questionable ideas of what constitutes an acceptable room for two people to sleep.  The two twin beds were so close together that at one point my arm fell across onto the other bed.  Not awesome.  I don’t mind it so much when I’m in a 10 euro hostel, but for a legit hotel?  No thanks.

We went to the Tallinn city museum, and then a more general history museum, and an architecture museum.  The arch. one was pretty cool cause they had an exhibit on mentionable houses in Estonia.  It was cool cause when I went out to the country, I passed by a house with one wall entirely made of glass, and on the inside of the glass, floor to second story ceiling were books.  Super awesome.  I thought to myself “If I were to make an exhibit based on mentionable houses in Estonia, I would totally include this house.  Lo and behold!  It was included in the exhibit.  Cool.

We also ate at a Tex-Mex place which was the most Tex-Mexy of all the Estonian Tex-Mex places I’ve been to.  They even had passable guacamole, salsa that wasn’t just oddly chunky ketchup, and Corona signs everywhere!  Practically real.

After dinner, we wandered around town, argued about which way the hotel was, etc, and then I wrote an essay for my Estonian class.  100 words took me nearly two hours.  Yikes x2.  Then we tried to go to bed, but the Tallinnite revelers kept us up until ~4am.  Singing Lisa Loeb and Celine Dion a.t.t.o.t.l.  I wish I got to go back to Tartu  rather than Tallinn.  Oh well.
