This week has been Fall Break at LCC & we are fully taking advantage of it! We decided to get out of town & drive north with our friends Andrew & Alene and their 1-year old daughter Charlotte to Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. We were here during our fall break in 2004 when we did the same trip with our friends Mark & Kim Hoelterhoff & their kids, but were only here for 2 days due to splitting our time in Riga, Latvia as well. Outside of cutting the 9-hour drive in half by spending 1 night in Riga, we're spending the entire week camping out in a cute little apartment just outside of Tallinn's medieval old town. This is a beautiful city with loads of history and things to see. Because of the girls & their nap schedules, as well as all of us being totally exhausted from the semester, we've been spending a lot of time playing games & relaxing together in the apartment. Just what we've needed!! And since the apartment doesn't have internet access, we don't have the temptation of getting online to check emails or do work - perfect!!
We tried to take a 1.5-hour ferry to Helsinki, Finland this morning, but due to stormy weather, the ferry was canceled. We'll try again tomorrow and if that doesn't work, we'll still have Saturday since we aren't leaving until Sunday. Ieva is excited to ride on the big boat & we're all looking forward to being in a new country for the day!
The week so far as been fairly overcast & drizzly, so we're hoping the end of the week gets better...but it isn't ruining our fun. The true R&R we're getting has really been just what we all needed!
We'll post photos once we're back in Klaipeda next week. Please pray that our long drive home goes smoothly! Thanks!
