Tallinn

Well folks, I went to Tallinn, Estonia last weekend on my first cruise. The first night everything was all good... we even splurged on the dinner buffet, which was super yummy. They had all kinds of good food, and the desserts were so delectable. We sat at this pub and watched a guy play guitar and his harmonica for a couple of hours, then we headed to the Disco Aluminum Club. It was the only club for young adults like us. :) We danced the night away!

We arrived in Tallinn at 10am Saturday morning, ready to wake up and enjoy the day! It was in the +degrees Celsius... about 34 deg F, which felt really great, actually. :) Emilia, a Finnish girl we hung out with throughout the day, had been to Tallinn a bunch before so she showed us around the town. We went shopping, which was great because it was cheaper than Stockholm (which, anywhere in the Nordic countries is rather expensive)! :) I bought a shirt, cute long heart necklace, a fun little black bow headband, and some giraffe print black, white, and pink rainboots. Super cute. It was the perfect day to buy them since the snow was melting, creating lots of slush! Tallinn is not such a big town, and we only had from 10-5pm, but that gave us plenty of time to shop, look around the "old town," and eat at a great Russian place... and enjoy some real hot chocolate (from actual chocolate), at a nice, quaint little cafe! Talk about a dessert!

Bored of typing.. sorry friends! Will fill in more later. Mom and I could possibly take the trip again this week, or we may fly somewhere... who knows. Taking suggestions.... :)

Missing Rome already

Well, my friend Chelsea and I went to Rome for 5 days over last weekend... we missed our flight on Monday so we had an enjoyable 5 days there! I must say I was quite happy to have an extra 2 days there.. Mostly because I loved the gelato so much (I guess most of you saw the pic). I wasn't quite ready to hurry back to the large amounts of snow here. Right now outside the sun is shining, it's flurrying a bit, and it is 5deg F... I think I will refrain from going out today if I can help it! My mom comes in 11 days! I'm really excited. I think we will go to Berlin for a few days! Looking forward to some real schnitzel!

I don't even feel like I have classes this semester. It's crazy! I have one class a week, which this week I had to miss due to missing the flight. The teacher was very understanding, and we are actually able to miss one class so it worked out fine.
