I have traveled many miles this past week with 2 trips to Tallinn and a trip to Helsinki. Kayla and Hannah went home on Saturday so we took them to Tallinn to say goodbye and then Sean, Corey and I continued on to Helsinki, Finland. We took a two hour ferry to Helsinki and spent the afternoon wandering around and exploring. Finland reminded me of being in Sweden. The architecture was beautiful and very similar, however, there was not an Old Town in Helsinki like the in the Baltics. The Estonian language is derived from the Finnish language, but I was still not able to read or understand any Finnish. After wandering accross town, we took a three hour ferry back to Tallinn and then a 3 hour bus back to Tartu. It was a great little day adventure to spend the afternoon in another country.

Main Square. The Main Square was right next to the harbor and was filled with many tents selling souvenirs.
My favorite musical "Wicked" was playing in Helsinki.

Chruch in a Rock Church.
