Baltic Cruise 2015 {Tallinn, Estonia}

 Our next stop was Tallinn, Estonia.  It's a beautiful little walled city with cobblestoned medieval streets.  I'll let the photos speak for themselves!

The obligatory photo stop before getting off the ship!

I find them so impressive!
Grabbing a quick pic at the wall entrance before we head into the old town.
Beautiful doors along the way!
Seriously?!  She is taking another picture?

Interesting name....
A stop in one of the old churches.

The Town Square




Alexander Nevsky Cathedral


The Estonian Parliament Building


The Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin (Dome Church's) Tower
Dating back to 1240, the church is not really very exceptional, but the view from the tower was gorgeous!
The climb to the top was a little tight.
People had to come down this same staircase. 
That view!!!




Pews where you can lock the kids in...I like it!

When in Estonia...just kidding!




 Walking along the wall!






How about a nice photo for your parents?!
I think not....
Much better!





We stopped in this restaurant that prided itself on serving everything with garlic!  Why not???
Garlic beer!!  Chris was not a fan.  First beer, in his lifetime, he did not finish.
That is garlic on ice cream.  My serving was very good, but Wendy's was VERY strong.
They entertained themselves all day by mimicking these dolls outside of the shops.




In case you are missing Tex Mex!
This was painted on a wall in town.  I thought it might make a good cover for my blog someday...if I ever get it printed.
The Estonian Flag
Lovely sights all over the city!
Back to the ship!


Hey!  We know that guy!
 Formal Night #2!








Riga, Latvia is up next!  Stay tuned!

Until next time,
Wendy
