That's actually Brad in front of the pink building, but you can't tell.  We really enjoyed Tallinn.  We didn't know anything about the place before the cruise.  Typical of the area, it's another country that has been overrun by every other country over the years, the most recent being the Soviet Union.  However, they are currently independent and I didn't hear much love expressed for their neighbors --  the Russians.  The pink building is the Toompea Castle and is Estonia's parliament.  It is on Toompea Hill in the upper town and is directly across from the cathedral below.

This is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.  Pretty nice, eh?  It's a Russian Orthodox cathedral completed in 1900.

We went inside and checked it out.  We didn't stay long in the old town of Tallinn as our excursion involved a couple hour drive into the countryside to visit the ruins of a medieval fortress.  We also visited a distillery, but Lisa and I do not drink spirits and did not enjoy this part of the tour.

That's Lisa.  If you look to the left and above Lisa, you can see our ship.

Most cities have destroyed their city walls as they developed.  One of the unique things about Tallinn is that they left theirs standing and built around it.
