I got up at 3 this morning…2.5 hours before the alarm.  You would think after all these years I would be over being excited about an airplane ride to a new place.  We went to the airport and caught our flight to Paris, then changed airlines and flew to Tallinn, Estonia.  It isn’t too far from St.Petersburg, Russia and is across the Baltic Sea from Finland.  We were met by our driver and were taken to a very nice hotel that is about a 10 minute walk to Old Town.  We went there for dinner at a place recommended by our Hotel.  I had Pork Shank, with turnips and loganberries.  Very good.  Andy and I shared a split pea soup that was delicious.  It had a big dollop of sour cream or perhaps cream cheese mixed with rye.  We ate some black bread that is a rye bread…it almost tasted like date bread…not at sweet, but very good.   This was a typical Estonian meal.  Also had some cooked shredded cabbage and roasted potatoes.  A heavy, but very good hearty meal.  Got back to the hotel and ready for bed.  We are hoping for smoked salmon and pickled herring for breakfast tomorrow.  We go on a walking tour tomorrow of Old Town, so will report on that tomorrow.  Good night!
