A Day at the Beach...in Estonia
... Once we arrived we all checked into our hostel, which was of course a cute, old building. To save money all my roommates and I stayed in one room, which was fine because the more the merrier!

It was nice not to have to try and tip toe around while I got ready as I was the only person in my six bed dorm. I ran down to the beach and was surprised to find a boardwalk that ran adjacent to the sand almost the entire length of the beach. The combination of the fresh morning air and the fantastic views across the ...
