Where exactly is that?!?!

Tallinn eh, does anyone even know where that is??
Well I believe technically speaking it is a higher
latitude than St. Pete's (yeah good vacation
destination) and it's in Estonia, one of the Baltic
states. Well we decided to take the bus to Tallinn
just to escape the burg, (really just needed to escape
the people not the city) that was our first mistake.
as you all know I’ve spent some time on the bus, but
nothing like this, the Russian road system is far from
adequate, in fact I felt like I was stuck on a plane
during turbulence for 9 hours with one 2.5 hour break
at the boarder for customs and visa work (normally
having a 2.5 hour delay like this might have angered
me but this was the only time my butt didn't hurt. the
seats are amazingly uncomfortable, they seem to have
taken a greyhound bus and added about 3 rows of
seating, thereby creating an even more cramped seat. I
physically couldn't fit my legs in front of me. But
when we arrived in Tallinn we realized it was worth
it, not only is it a beautiful medieval town like
Brugge or Siena, but it was also gorgeous out, like
maybe the clearest sky I’ve seen since cape cod. Only
one drawback, coming from St. Petersburg which is a
rather large city with lots to do, Tallinn is really
really small, we kept over walking the distances (I
think our map we had was actually to scale of 1:2) and
as far as museums there wasn't very much interesting
(just the standard all over Russia and it's former
parts, a Pushkin museum and a house of peter the
greats, oh and a building built by Rastrelli) we were
actually thinking of going to Finland for one of our 2
days there (only thing holding us back was we over
slept). So having seen the city sights in the first 25
minutes of being there we did what anyone else would
do... we ate at probably 40 percent of the restaurants
and drank in probably 60 percent of the bars. We were
finally like Europeans (every Russians dream) we sat
on the big open square looking at the oldest town hall
in Europe. we ran into about 10 other kids from our
trip also traveling to Tallinn that weekend (again
small city) we watched the crazy British stag parties
that go on in Tallinn; they mentioned it in a guide
book and it's really quite true I personally saw about
15 different parties going on and we heard more
English than Estonian (not that I’d know what that
sounds like) the second night we were randomly
approached by a man on the street who rented us an
apartment for the night, which was rather straight out
of the 70's with leopard print beds, weird shaped
chairs and bizzarro paintings (we also counted about
17 crosses around the place, and we think they might
have been hari krishnas, but they didn't try and sell
us any religion so it was okay by us)
It's finally really warm here, like I think 60, we
sit outside the dorms now and have no use for the
lounge (I’m sure now that I’ve said this it'll be
snowing all week, which apparently really isn't out of
the question until July here) I don't even need a
jacket, bliss, really having been so cold for so long
it is really something to feel the sun on your face
(also I’ve never been so pale, we're all like ghosts,
or really just Russians) sorry for the short email but
I’m not at the internet cafe, I’m in the dorms and
people are very touchy about their internet here (they
like to use it themselves to pretend like their home,
again people are getting hostile here, many haven't
left the dorms for weeks, and I fear they might start
eating each other soon, fear not it won't be me, I’m
never here) ellski
