So since my last post I have been to Tallinn, Estonia and Helsinki, Finland. Both of which were amazing cities. Expensive, but amazing cities none the less. Bellow is a view from one of the islands in Helsinki. It was an amazing old fortress. We had a blast exploring it. There were tunnels, and passageways, and beautiful views of the Finnish Gulf, rolling hills, cannons, and just beautiful landscaping in general. This island was by far my favorite part of Helsinki.
Tallinn a beautiful city as well. We spent a lot of time in the old part of town. Which was basically a giant castle like place. It was beautiful. It was by far the smallest national capital I've been to, but one of the most amazing. The people where friendly, and everything was prime for tourists. :) Bellow is one of the beautiful views from the city wall.
To travel to Helsinki we took a 7 hour train ride... yeah not that exciting. Then to get to Estonia we took a 3 hour "fairy" if by fairy you mean giant cruise ship. Both new and interesting ways to travel.
Life in St. Petersburg has been going relatively well. I believe I am just about done shopping for presents! So that is good. :) We went to a Russian Ballet last week. It was AMAZING! I loved it. It was one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. Incredible.
Thursday is Thanksgiving and they are making us a turkey dinner. So hopefully that turns out well. And Sunday is my 21st birthday... so I'm going out Saturday night with some friends. :)
I guess in short all is well here. It has been an amazing journey! I can't believe its almost over. This has truly been an amazing experience... and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
