On Tuesday, we visited Tallinn, Estonia. It is a quaint town that used to be part of the Soviet Union, until it asserted independence in 1991 with the downfall of Communism.
Tallinn is a very old city and this is the main entrance to the older downtown area.
Viking folklore is big here, as it is in all the other Baltic States we visited.
This is the Swedish Embassy that is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the city.
This is a church in the downtown courtyard.
If you are not sure of your way around, this guy can help.
This is a bazaar at the base of the fortress wall that protected the old downtown area.
An old church we discovered while just walking around.
This church is a major tourist attraction in Tallinn.
It’s pretty easy to identify the police here.
A really creative sign to mark the entrance of a downtown store.
A clock on a church steeple.
Here you can see the contrast of the old town with the new.
Most of the old city is quaint, with many sidewalk restaurants.
We ended our day in Tallinn by eating lunch at a restaurant that served us some local fare, including sausage, caramelized onions and mashed potatoes.
