Tallin, Estonia


Tallin, Estonia is a beautiful historic seaport on the Baltic Sea. Fortunately not as much of the city was destroyed during World War II so there are many more 12 and 13th century buildings to enjoy. This picture is of the old town hall building. There is still a ring hanging from the outside wall that people found guilty of a crime would have to put their head and hands into and have to stay there for a certain amount of time depending on their crime. Outside this area on most days is an open air craft market of wonderful hand made crafts including felt hats, wool sweaters, linens, wood carvings and glass jewelry.

  1. I might have to look into getting a few of those rings for students who walk away with my good pliers ... teach them a lesson or two. I am having so much fun on this vacation .... thank your husband for allowing me to stow away.
