Working your butt off during the year as a teacher pays off when you:
a. see how much your students have learned
b. figure out a way to escape the Texas heat for the summer
c. get the summer off to do something else you really love!
Keep posted for Summer 2008.... full info

In Saaremaa
Kuressaare Episcopal Castle on the island of Saaremma. You have to take a ferry to get the island...mostly, there are just a lot of trees there. :)
In Saaremaa, at our cabin-site
We stayed in these very cute little cabins. Of course, there was a sauna...and surprisingly, a delicious, home-cooked breakfast in the morning.
Lots of windmills
Saaremaa is known for its windmills, and we stopped here to check some of them out.
In the trees
I don't remember the name of the forest we went to...but the trees were tall and amazing...they literally swayed in the wind. It felt like something out of "The House of Flying Daggers".
In Polva
We went to visit Allar's grandparents, who just celebrated their 50th wedding anniverary. Thet were amazing hosts.
Me and Allar (our driver/host) in Tartu
I know he looks like he doesn't want to be there...but I wanted to get a picture with me and him in front of the statue of kissing college students. Unfortunately, the photographer didn't get the statue in!
Tartu Univeristy
Tartu is the "Austin" of Estonia...its only college town.

Much more than trees
I'm sorry that all you found on Saaremaa were trees - the island has so much to offer but it takes a little digging and preparation. Maybe you'll come back someday and I can show you some of the other good things about our island
