Birds Eye View of 700yo Town Square
My wife and I did not just visit Estonia, we rented an apartment and stayed for three months. Part of our lifestyle plan to is stay each summer away from our home in Naples, Florida and take up residence elsewhere. We call it THE WORLD IS OUR SECOND HOME.
Estonia was wonderful and I hope to report more in the weeks and months ahead. For the impatient you can visit my website www.marshallpublications.com
The day after we arrived, there was a day long renaissance festival inthe old Town Square. A wonderful meeting place, the heart of Tallinn and to some degree Estonia. Visited for Christmas by Peter the Great, the reputed location for the first display of a Christmas tree, and the location of the oldest pharmacy in Europe. It is a world heritage site and one of the best preserved examples of medieval town square architecture in the world. I have provided a bird's eye view. Try to visit and explore on days when the cruise ships are not in port, and do go at night on weekends where it is the hub of activity.
