Day 5 - Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn is a great city.  Estonia has been occupied most of its existence (1400's) by the Danish, Swedish, German, and Russians.  They've been independent from from the USSR since it disolved into different counties.

Here are a few of my photos.  The city was involved in a festival celebrating its heritage when I arrived.
