Today, my darling, hardworking husband is off presenting papers and talking shop. And while I, lady of leisure that I currently am, sit poolside -
amazing weather, unlike anything we ever get in England! - I thought I'd stop in and share a few random images from our first week: cozy cafes, fanciful architecture, street art, grand town squares. We're soaking it all in, at a very relaxed pace.
Yes, this is just what the doctor ordered.

| Some of the residential architecture reminded me of a more colorful Cape Cod style |
 |
| This funky yet traditional cafe turned into one of our favorite coffee breaks |
 |
| We bought a beautiful vase in this studio, where you could observe the artist at work |

| Hello Kitty and a gas mask? |
Beautiful pictures!! Thanks so much for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your enjoying a relaxing break!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit--I had to look up Tallinn and I forgot where Estonia is! Oh, well. I learned something! I went to school with someone and I worked with a woman, both from Estonia. They stand out as two people very proud on their heritage. Thanks for sharing your pics. I loved the studio picture. The colors are gorgeous!

ReplyDeletehow lovely to come to your blog and see a familiar sight. i spent over a year and a half volunteering in a village not to far from Tallinn. are you spending your whole week in Estonia? nii lahe!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you've lived there! I'd love to hear more...my husband and I were both really charmed by this tiny country and its people. We were there about 8 days in total, and visited Tallinn, Tartu (where my husband was attending a workshop), and Parnu. It was lovely!
DeleteLove it! I love the blown glass and the funky cafe and just...all of them. Hope you're having fun!
