Saturday, September 29, 2007

Today, we had several options.  After services, there was a walking tour around Estonia which was my vote and there was also a water park near our hotel (everyone else's vote).  So, being out-voted 3-1 (the negative effects of women's suffrage) -- we went to the water park.  Spas, water parks, pools, etc. are very important to the Finnish and Estonians.  There are nearly everywhere and very much part of their culture.

We all had a great time going down the slides, swimming in the lazy river, etc.  The best moment was when my dad decided to go down the water slide and the man behind him decided to follow him immediately.  So, I was standing at the bottom watching two grown men coming down a water slide together.  I was so mad this was the one time I forgot my camera.

Later that night, we went with some of our Swedish friends to the Restoran Balkin which had cuisine ranging from the more Eastern European areas (Romania, Hungary, Serbia) to dishes that were more Greek and Turkish.  My wife had the chicken kebabs, my friend Paul had some sort of steak with a peach on it, I had minced meat balls with Feta.
