There was a street festival in Tallin that week-end, and Olga took me there. Workshops, exhibitions, salsa, music, food and concerts. And, as on every descent Estonian festival, there was a Street-sauna. And it was hot, burning hot! But still, it was fun, you can't say no to a street sauna when you have the possibility to enter one. We walked a lot. And I love walking in unknown cities. Seeing most parts of the town, the suburbs and the other areas where Estonians acctually live, not only the touristic parts. We talked and walked and met people everywhere before we finished up with the street sauna and a beer or three. It was a perfect day!
Next day it rained. It rained heavily all day long, but that didn't keep us from going outside. Walking around until we were soaking wet to the skin, we went to her favorite cafe where we tried to dry of and enjoyed a cup pf hot chocolate. The cafe was a lovely little place set in an old basement in the old part of town. The music was calming and the atmosphere great and we sat around for an hour or so before we went back into the rain.
We ended our day at the house of a friend of Olga. Watching all the 3 "Back to the future" films, eating cakes and drinking tea after tea. It couldn't have ended any better than that!
Had it not been for Olga, Tallin wouldn't have been as great as it was. I didn't see that much of the typical tourist stuff, but to be honest, I couldn't have cared less! That is not what is most important to me. It is not what you do and what you see that makes a trip worth wile, it is the people that you share the experiences whit that matter. And as I told Olga; both in sunshine and rain life is beautiful when you share it with beautiful people. Olga is one of those wonderful people that you will never forget. Thanks!
