Still alive, from Riga!

Whew. We made it to Riga, Latvia. We spent yesterday in Tallinn, Estonia and the previous day (Sunday) in Helsinki, Finland. The trip is going by so fast already. We have been traveling only one week and it feels like a lifetime-- in a good way, I mean. We have seen and experienced a lot of new things in a short amount of time: A delicious makkaraperunat in Helsinki (a delicacy of potatoes and wieners which even "vegetarian" Lee enjoyed); a ginormous pannkook peekoni ja suitsujuustuga in Tallinn (a big old pancake, full of smoked cheese and ham).

Lee is currently making me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, our own US speciality.

We'll write more later, but it's time to eat my pbj and enjoy the hostel's free coffee.

Your travels look wonderful. A little jealous. Would love to hear more pedometer readings. Mat and Kar say Hi.
