Tallinn, Estonia

 Tallinn is Estonia's capital on the Baltic Sea and used to be part of the USSR. It is 130 miles west of the Russian border.  We took a shuttle bus into town where there are old buildings from the Middle Ages.

A short walk in town and we came across the largest display of flowers for sale that we had ever seen.

The town has many large and very old churches.

We saw these young school children downtown on a field trip.  Notice that they are all waring safety vests.

We found a street with a row of protest and missing person signs.  Most were supporting Ukraine against Russia.

Here is one of the street signs up close.  Notice the addition scribbled above the word "Russia."

This building made us think of home in the Detroit suburbs.  Note the Estonia flag above.

Like in so many old European and Scandinavian cities the ancient buildings are fascinating to see.

This attraction reminded Bill of his heart procedure last year.  

The pier back near the ship took us past this man-made sea barrier protecting the city shore.  There must either be a shortage of large rocks or logistical problems gathering them.
