... as either Tallinn or Kurresarre, but v. Strong Germanic/Palladian influences in it&#8217;s older buildings &#8211; the university and town hall. <br> <br><br>One thing I've noted - one week in - is that I am starting to get a little annoyed at the stares?!!? Surely the Celts have been here before? and the locals must have been witness to visitors as fair (or as pink!) as myself before? A waiter - who engaged me in ...

... a great possibility for me, but a degree in MS mostly only qualifies me to work in museums - there's a strong focus on gallery maintenance and design, but also curatorship, business, and dealing with the public. My goal is to work behind the scenes with actual artifacts, records, or files, which is a more specific discipline often called Archival Studies, Archive Practices, or something related to that. This is also a branch of Library Science ...

The past week has been slightly uneventful as most people seem to be buckling down to their coursework, myself included. Even though I only have 3 days of class, the Estonian language is quite demanding and I'm taking the university's intensive course in it, so I always have another aspect of grammar to look over before class. I haven't done a whole lot socially, though, thanks to my American bank canceling my debit card, thus effectively cutting off all access to my money for absolutely no ...

... of the charming center of Tartu. Bev and I then walked back to the apartment. I'm not feeling 100% so I'll take it easy. The rest of the day I dragged with this flu-like feeling. Hope it changes....there is still a lot to do and Tallinn and Sweden ahead of us. I put up a YouTube video of our Vinogradov kids singing "As a Deer." Made me feel a little better.

... card for my GSM phone that I bought in Malawi a few months back. We now have a local Estonian cell phone number. This cost only $4.50 and gives us 45 minutes of air time. Good deal! Just in case you want to know, our phone number here is 372 559 21038. Give us a call if you want to try it out. We stopped by the grocery store and picked up some food for the next several days. On the phone we talked to Andrus ...

... Athmosphaere dieser Umgebung geschildert wird, und wirklich riecht die Luft hier besser, die Baeume sind Majestaetischer, tiefer frieden erfuellt die Welt. Bin durch zufall auf dieses Schloss eines Deutschen Barons gestossen, ich denke das es das oestlichste war. 10 Kilometer weiter faengt russland an. Dann durch die ...

... Finally, we went to our old standby the Wilde Restaurant and found a place to have dinner outside. Food was tasty and company great. Then we walked around some more. It was going on 11:30 PM when Britt and Jim went to the hotel and we went back to the apartment. There is still twilight during these long days and white nights that people enjoy taking advantage of to be about and around town.

... seems that everything is geared to avoid walking. Unless we plan for it, we can spend the whole day without really moving. I imagine a future world that will have us moving strictly by conveyer belts. We will have conveyer belts take us from our bed to the shower, to the kitchen, then garage, then from our car into our cubicle. Around noon I went to the University of Tartu. It was quite an enjoyable visit ...

After yesterday's speed tour of Tallinn - well, it wasn't that speedy - I had the option of hanging around another day and taking in what few sights lie outside the old town or heading off elsewhere. While sometimes it seems a tad funny to spend only one day in a country's capital, I find it equally shameful to go someplace new and only have a look at its biggest city. So today I got up early and headed off to the town of Tartu ...

... a bus ticket at the bus station for the 8:15 am bus back to Tallinn Airport the next day. We took a taxi back to the apartment because of all the station**y and then got right to work to get this mailing out the door. We had to prepare the Bible Study Course lessons by ins**ting a response card (actually two of them) through the staples in the Bible Study Course. The p**son receiving this lesson will have to send the ...
