TALLINN MONDAY EVENING 9-7

Av EvaLena Hallgren - 9 juli 2018 18:03

This kitty had found a home behind Lucy and I was planning to share my breakfast with her, but she ran as soon as mOm opened the door.............WHo am I kidding I do NOT share food unless Mom makes me.


 


So we said goodbye to Riga and heading north we soon reached the next border and this is the remnants from the old custom and passport control at the border.


 


Just like I predicted we didn't make it to Tallinn Mom saw an article that went like this..................................Pärnu is a resort city in southwestern Estonia, overlooking Pärnu Bay. The city is bisected by the Pärnu River, which has paths on both banks, both of which end in stone jetties in the bay. The city is known for its 19th-century timber villas and for sandy Pärnu Beach, with its shallow waters and promenade. Behind the beach, Pärnu Beach Park has fountains, trails, and neoclassical spa buildings..............................and it's on our way .......... let's stop in and check it out and we did

 

 

we parked Lucy and we went bike riding all around this little village. Nice with a small town feel to wind down, and I think we pretty much covered every single bike path there was.

How about this cool idea for a bike parking?

 

 


this is a great looking surface of this house Mom thought would make a perfect backdrop in a fashion photo....... It's falling apart I say.....

.  


We met a little Yorkie which I took one whiff of and than turned my back to mark my uninterest. Mom, on the other hand, was being cutsie cutsie with her..............and her dad seemed to think she was the most amazing thing in the world...............like I am to Mom


   


just like the article said there were many cool wooden houses.


 


and doors

 

Coolest looking lady in town,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, without a doubt


 

we spent some time in the park that was very clean and quiet...................nice to do nothing but sit around and listen to the birds chirping and leaves razzling in the wind 



   

riding home along the river Mom cracked up at this graffiti. I know it's wrong to do it, but sometimes they're so good

you just have to give credit to the artist.   




 

this is a real pro on murals

 


Following morning, as usual, no rush to get going but by 10 am we were on the road to Tallinn 13 mil (80miles) north.

We got to the ferry terminal and bought tickets. Best price is early tomorrow morning so we'll wait. 

I also had to get a stamp in my passport that I was dewormed ??? I beg your pardon? I do not have worms.............Mom says she knows that but we still need a veterinarian to sign the passport.

We got a buggy ride to the vet and Daniel pedaled through the city streets like he has done that all his life.....zigzagged sometimes on the sidewalk and sometimes in the streets, beating the cablecars ......it was a great ride.

   


after the vet. he took us around the town to show the pretty parks and statues and churches and..............well you know the usual stuff.

I think the lady in pink is stalking us ?

   


this is the parliament building

 


the library

 


another tourist ride,not as cool as ours though

 


cobblestone streets are eally popular here, and yes they are cool looking, but a pain in the a$$ to ride on


         


here is a very interesting tree, the trunk looks like a person and the leaves wings


 


Daniel pedaled us back to Lucy and Mom chatted with him about his future (Mom is very nosy) he was a studying business and dreamed about starting his own company someday. They also compared notes about world news and solved many problems while at it...............haha

now we're ready to call it a night to make sure we're up ready for the ferry early 


 


all is good

We are getting ready for the long flight back to Florida tomorrow so Mom isn't giving me any time for my story but here are some pictures from Stockholm where we are staying until tomorrow. According to Mom, this is the cleanest city we visited. and ...

 We have been having many sluggish days lately, it's been raining, and Mom was in the mood for a meal she used to love as a puppy. so she's been cooking a real meal for a change. It was very tasty but Mom seemed to have difficulties cooking for one p...

We woke up to a gorgeous sunrise at 4.45 AM It's definitely getting closer to  fall because it's getting dark at night now     Yes, Mom kept her promise and we stayed for a second night at the marina, and on the second day, we had lunch there....

It hasn't been easy to get Mom to help me with my story, because now Mom got a book that completely mesmerized her. The author is from her puppy town and the story is about a woman's life and struggles to live in Northern Sweden from 1896 to 1985. ...

Ever since we arrived in Mom's puppy town she's been sleeping later and later in the mornings, this morning she didn't get up until 7.30, that's a record. I think she's reminiscing back to her teens? Here I'm running after the ball at the same fiel...
