Estonia


"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Saturday morning I boarded a Linda Lines express boat leaving behind a dreary and rainy Helsinki to find myself standing in Estonia's medieval capital city of Tallinn a mere hour and a half later. At the harbor I was greeted by a familiar face, Lisa Julius, a co-worker of mine from Florida, who is also a fellow participant in the GROW program. It was an awesome super fun packed weekend thanks to Lisa. She was like my very own tour guide filling me in on everything from architectural to cultural to historic facts about the city. Good times!! Craziness was dinner Saturday...we're sitting at this restaurant outside late night and I see this 300lbs. Asian dude giving me and for that matter everyone else around the stink eye. So I say to Lisa what is the deal with people having body guards.. and just as I say it.. the waiter moves and we both see Fred-freakin-much-shorter-in-real-life-Durst from Limp Bizkit.....haha. A little Florida reunion as they are from Jacksonville, small world. Waiter said he had just had a concert that night and was here for some grub. All around a great city which I definitely would recommend to anyone traveling through Europe to go visit.

  1. Why Fred Durst needs a bodyguard in Estonia (or anywhere for that matter) is beyond me. You look right at home with your giant beer. : )

  2. How long was you and Durst's make-out session?
