hey, im not dead or anything. i just havent been in a blogging mood much lately.
over the past few days weve been mostly bumming around tallinn. two days ago we took a day trip to finland (its only a short boat ride from here) where we met echidnes little sister and then wandered the city before boating back to estonia. its been a nice relaxing trip. i am pretty convinced, however, that estonias largest import from the united states is tex-mex restaurants. theres nothing like wandering through the twisty streets of a midieval city and finding a place called amarillo with a bunch of blondes in cowboy hats behind the bar.
as usual life in the united states seems very far away. we are not really trying to keep up with the news here--im trying to take a break from my newsjunkiness. and yet every time i check my email i peek at the headlines and find that i really havent missed much. except for the one about lieberman losing the primary, most of them could have been written last week before i left. the observation i made three years ago still holds true, and yet it still surprises me a little bit every time.
oh, and anyone out there who happens to know how punctuation works on an estonian keyboard, please let me know
