Southern Estonia

I don't have many pics from last weekend's adventure but I went to Sooma National Park in Southern Estonia with my friend from the American embassy and some of her friends. It was nice to be around a group of Americans again...we had two cabins (we were the only ones there) at Riisa Rantso, which was a cute rustic little place. The ladies who worked there could not have been more nice (it is true that once you get outside of Tallinn the people tend to be friendlier). In the evening we went on the 'famous' floating sauna. Well, their website claims it is famous but they also claims it will take you down river which we found was not the case...we wound up being docked so technically it was floating but it didn't go anywhere. The next day, we took a bog walk at Sooma National Park. Now I don't know what I was expecting a bog to be, but it was somehow a bit disappointing; the scenery was pretty though.

Heading off to Istanbul this morning.
