Estonia 2

Our last day in Tallin I met up with my friend Aliona. I met her in a park in Riga and we started running together. We quickly became best friends. They are from Estonia, but her husband works in both Tallin and Riga, so they had an apartment in Riga and a house in Tallin. She only speaks Russian, tiny bit of English. Many years ago she worked on a cruise ship off the coast of Florida, so she learned some, but forgot most. I was lucky to know Russian and be able to communicate with her. We had so much fun running together and hanging out at the parks with the kids. So while we were in Estonia we met up with her. Her we are at a palace one of the Russian Tsars had built for his wife, Catherine.
Her son George just LOVED Isabel. He always wanted to hold her. It wasn't as easy as she got bigger.

We went to their house in the suburbs, very very nice. They had a great play room for her son with all sorts of fun climbing things.
