True, we did go for lunch at a very soviet era bar / club in the russian section of Tallinn...however, what i was writing about was the traditional tourist Tallinn. The russian section looks alot like the apartment blocks outside of moscow; but in regular Tallinn they are erasing all they can of the soviet-russian occupation ( the occupation museum being a great stop; it makes the russians seem worse then the germans).
i was amazed by how the Finns seem to be all over. They come over by ferry and go home the same day. Our city tour was in english and finnish. I did not meet any other americans, just a few brits who seemed to be happy to be drinking, no matter where they were.
is Riga worth a visit? Vilnius?
