Thurs. aug. 22 a Tallinn, Estonia

Bad news. Ana is sick. She was all ready to leave the ship when she decided that she really didn't feel well and turned around. It is really a shame, because this is the town where we will be doing the most yarny stuff.



Estonia has a rich knitting heritage. One of the knitting teacher's parents emigrated from here and she has been teaching Estonian stitches on the ship. She is also guiding us to the best shops to buy yarn. (Yes, it still looks like a feeding frenzy.)

Estonia escaped being bombed in WW II, so their old town has lots of intact walls and buildings.


This was a bathroom in a 13th century building. It had a really low door.


It also had a well (now covered by glass) inside the room. Aside from that it was a perfectly normal bathroom.


Lines of stalls selling knitted items were built into the old walls.





More than one store has these knitted people out in front.





I ate in what was touted as the best in Tallinn. It was in a series of caves and was really cool.


I had the salami and cheese plater. Really nice.
