Spend the First 48 Hours Drinking

[Who are these fools?]

Two and a half years ago, I hopped on a bus at around 5 in the morning and somehow ended up in Estonia.  (This is, of course, an exaggeration.  The bus in question was leaving from St. Petersburg, where I was living at the time, and I was fully aware of its destination.  In other words, we went to Estonia on purpose.)

Getting my photos in order has been on my to-do list for some time, and now that I’ve finally had some down time I’ve made at least a little progress.  Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been.  After several months in cold, unfriendly (this is MY blog, so I’m allowed to be subjective!)

Free Time Will Be The Death of Me

I have never been good with free time.  It makes me restless, and when I get restless, I get antsy, and when I get antsy, I BOTHER PEOPLE.  My family can attest to this more than any other group of people in the world.  Now, my man, too, is learning about “Bored Tess.”  May the lord have mercy on his soul.  In advance.
