Tallin, Estonia

We are now in Tallin, Estonia, Europe's best preserved Medieval city. We are staying in the old town which is surrounded by 13th century walls and towers. I feel safe here.

Our hotel is in an old merchant's house and even the walls are Uneaxo protected sites. I'll make sure Maddox doesn't go at them with a sledge hammer.

It wasn't easy getting all our luggage here but we have a good system worked out. I'm not sure how after traveling for all these years I still don't have packing light down but it's not easy with a baby!

They really play up the Medieval theme here and if I have enough drinks I might forget I'm in a real medieval city and instead think I'm in one of those medieval fairs I went to as a child. There are people dressed in period costume, fire jugglers and jousters in the old town square. It's actually fun and pretty cool. There are way more tourists here than Riga but at least 95 percent of them are European which adds to the authentic ambiance.

We had a unique medieval dinner of boar, elk and bear sausages and an incredibly delish but hearty filet of wild elk with local berries. Estonia is also known for their beer and we had the most unique beer at dinner- light cinnamon and dark herbal varieties made in-house. Brett is in heaven!

We had a warm welcome here to Tallin, our cab driver was the nicest and funniest man we have come across in the Baltics and when we arrived in the airport they were nice enough to hand us a map of the old town. The map was filled with all sorts of ads to get our creative juices flowing trying to figure out what to do here. They really offer up some rare activities here including:

"Biomassage for Men: Anonymous Practical Help for Men with Potency Problems. An experienced specialist invites gentlemen to special intimidate massage with orgasm (without sex, possible massage of the prostate) in order to restore, enhanced and sustain stable potency. A personalized approach, confidentiality, results and an unforgettable new feeling guaranteed! Courteous and profession health service. Do not miss your chance!"

Really??????? Really?????? Sign my man up!!! It's a medical service after all and no sex is involved just a regular old prostate massage. Just what we were looking for. Awesome. And best of all our potency problems can be solved. Whatever those are. We won't miss our chance lady!!!

I wonder if they also offer some medical treatment for sleazy babies because Maddox might be in the market for something like that soon. His flirting is getting out of control! He's getting so aggressive we have nicknamed him the Italian Stallion.

Today he convinced some lady in the airport to give him a 10 minute Xhinese language lesson. He also isn't getting enough satisfaction anymore from merely flirting with the waitresses by smiling and catching their eye. Now he has moved on to sometimes trying to undress them by pulling on their aprons. I'm not sure until what age this behavior will remain acceptable but we may need to come back to this bio clinic here for help!

Until later!
