Tallinn

The day before I met the President of Estonia I went with Sean to visit Tallinn. We have both been there a few times, but we have not walked around Old Town Tallinn. Old Town Tallinn was like walking into a medievil fortress from a story book. Everyone in Old Town was dressed in a medeivil costumes making the experience that much more enjoyable. Old Town was surrounded by fortess walls and the streets were cobblestone. One of the most exciting parts of the day was running into tourist groups from America! You could tell they were Americans because they would look at you, smile, and then say "hello." Old Town Tallinn is a beautiful part of the city and it was a great way to see what Estonia used to look like.
