It's been a long time since the last post...and this will be the LAST POST as we'll be flying home tomorrow. But so much has happened since the last post:
Wednesday we took the ferry to Tallinn, Estonia...a medieval town that, unfortunately, was also a tourist trap gilded in old stone and wonderful (kind of) churches. In other words, it was worth going to but we won't be going back.
Far better was Thursday-Sunday: we rented a car and went to the lake country of Finland, staying in a wonderful two-story log cabin on a beautiful lake. About four hours NE of Helsinki, we had a vacation from vacationing! The logs were about 18" thick and although there was some traffic noise outside, there was none inside. The lake was totally calm, the dock into it invited Harley to dive in. A loon floated by and maybe even a swan on the other side. We grilled salmon and Finnish bratwust for two dinners and chicken inside for another. On Friday we drove north to visit a castle built in 1475...marvelous. The cabin was so great that we've decided to sell the Tucson property and build a log cabin somewhere in Colorado, Wyoming or Utah and have asked the owner of the Finnish cabin to share his plans. It really was great!
We're off for Munich at 6:35 AM tomorrow and land in Denver at 6:50 PM with stops in Munich and Dulles in between. We'll be glad to be home but this has to be one of our very best trips ever!
