On The Streets Of Tallinn

travel 1 Minute

The last post about our visit to Tallinn, which is about “everything else.” No matter how many new places we visited, Tallinn is all about walking its streets. As I mentioned, we started at the “back” of Kadriorg:

We are unsure when these canals appeared or, rather, were restored, but based on the time the palace was built, they should have been included into the original park design.
We saw many playgrounds like this with old tree pieces used for artwork (or playground amenities)
Boris said that there was a swimming pool at this place, and that’s where he learned to swim.
A 20th-century Methodist Church
An advertisement in Russian to apply for industrial and agricultural jobs in Estonia, Finland and Sweden
Freedom Square
A view from the top of the hill
We like this small cafe in Baker’s Passage, but that was the first time we tried something other than the cakes, and it was a mixed experience. The salmon quiche, which I tried, was mediocre. Boris somehow figured out that what they named ‘pancakes” were indeed crepes, so he had more luck.
“In case you do not know who the master is here!”
Coffee with Vana Tallinn and raspberry-pistachio cake at the Maiasmokk Cafe
The House of Blackheads Brotherhood- we learned a lot about them in the City Museum

And that’s it about this last visit!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
