Our Excursion: Town and Country life
We start out by bus to a farm called Esko, they started out with 8 cows and now have over 800, here they produce milk, cheese, and dairy products. We got to sample the cheeses, and yogurt. Very delicious!
After running amok with the cows we headed in to town where we stopped at a local families house to have coffee and cake with them, how fun! The house was very interesting, lots of wallpaper and a very tiny kitchen. The cake was made by the grandmother and was so delicious! Layers of pastry with rhubarb, the coffee was very good, I love coffee in Scandinavia, very strong and delicious!
From the home we headed into the old town, where it is very medieval. Gothic spires, ancient bell towers and winding cobblestone streets, it was so beautiful!
Back to the ship for dinner and wine,
Next stop:
St. Petersburg, Russia!!

| Cows! They smell. No seriously, they smell really bad! |
 |
| Who cut the cheese? |
 |
| Christy pointed out that this cow has a heart on it's forehead! Too cute! |
 |
| Mr. Estonia and his daughter, name was changed, well, I can't remember their names. |
 |
| Loved this chest in their home! Notice the wallpaper? It was everywhere! |
 |
| Keeping warm the old fashioned way! |
 |
| Jeff and our peeps having coffee and yummy cake! |
 |
| A fortress in all it's medieval glory! |

Back on the ship it was 70's night, we disco-ed down with Topi and his crew dressed as the village people!
It's fun to stay at the YMCA in Funkytown!!! |

Found yourself a fireman, I see. You look like a Bay City Roller with the plaid! LOVE the cows and stinky cheese - what a wonderful trip. The photos ROCK, Chica! XOXO
Cows do, indeed, stink. Was raised in an area that was swarming with them so the smell is actually homey to me. Looks like you're really getting the feel for these places, not just tourist traps!
Estonia looks lovely!
