Estonia & Latvia

       We packed the van in Finland, drove to Helsinki and to the 2 hour ferry to Tallin Estonia. The boat was huge- with grocery stores, liquor stores, live bands, several bars and a very fancy buffet. So we stared our trip with a nice meal. 

Then road tripped south across Estonia, seeing the country side. We explored this lovely beach town Pärnu, by bike, found a park and played some acro. 

Eastern Europe is old, beautiful and feels so historic. Gardening here is very popular, (as a result of food prices most people need to grow their own food). Cobblestone, old buildings, smiling faces
and cheap beer. Seems to also
 have many vacationing
 Scandinavians. 

A cute surf shop. We arrived in Estonia on the first sunny day of the season- which seems to be just my luck in 5 countries I've visited so far. The sun seems to be following me!
 I am so blessed with this weather.

Whenever we saw fresh water- and the sun was warm we took advantage and would jump in (van life leads to bathing, usually outdoors) This was an inlet of the Baltic Sea in Latvia, we saw an empty beach, stripped down and ran in, (with the GoPro, video to come!)

A Latvian park, on the Baltic Sea.

A Latvian attraction. Sand cliffs on the Baltic sea. Beautiful caves, big enough to camp in. 

Eastern Europe...so much history. You can feel the effect Russia has had. It is intense. But the land is so beautiful and the people seem happy.
I loved road tripping and seeing the countryside. Maybe next trip I'll visit the cities. but for now, off to Lithuania to teach an AcroYoga workshop in the capitol, Vilnius.
