Hello all
Tuesday night, and as I was reminded this morning, a month since I came to Estonia and Tallinn, and it seems like I have been here forever, although I still get lost, a lot. Anyway, yesterday I had my pottery class, and I am absolutely hopeless. The teacher who teaches 6 year olds seems concerned as to how little I can do. Besides all of that, it is still really fun, and I hope that I am able to produce something interesting that I can take pictures of to post so you can see part of what I learn this year. Also learned that I start Estonian lessons on Friday, which is great, so I can start learning this language, and understanding more of what is going on around me. Anyway, to answer you Essie, I have completely given up the no meat thing, I wouldnt be eating at all, or worse, only the enormous amount of really good chocolate, but alas, no pork chops, or chops of any sort, the Estonians seem to prefer their meat in small pieces, which is quite alright with me.
Anyway, for today's pictures, you have some Finnish and Estonian graffiti (spelling? i am not sure), the Finnish being the one that is looking out the bus window. I havnt decided which I find more interesting, but for the safe of patriotism, Estonian is better. OK, above those are a sign at the zoo not to stick your hand in the cage or it will be bitten off, and beside that is a WC that I took a picture of in the park because I thought it looked cool. What is more interesting is that today I found out that this WC is a very hot topic, it cost over 1 million krooni, the equivilent of 100 000 CAN. enough said. okay, last is another picture of me, because you all miss me, and you need to see more of me. not. anyway, this is at the sea near my host families summer cottage, which i will put up a picture for later. anyway, that is it for tonight, I am going to write down some estonian phrases that i have just learned in a conversation with the mexican. Love you all, and SEND MAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
