Tallinn, Estonia

In 2015 the secular chorus I sang with (a College group) made a concert tour of several countries on the Baltic Sea. One of the locations was the city of Tallinn, Estonia, where we also sang a concert. We had a coach tour of the city and I had some time to walk around, as well. Here are a few photographs of Tallinn.

Hi, Jay! Thanks for the thumb!

I’ve been watching your travels with your choir vicariously for a while now and just felt it was time for a big thank you for sharing… my traveling days are pretty much over.

Hi! Thanks for coming! I have been fortunate to belong to 2 different choral groups that made periodic tours to various places in the World and US. I'm 84 years old now and my ability to participate in everything the tours do is limited, but I go anyway and enjoy those things that I can do. You're welcome to follow me around, and I'm happy that you are enjoying it. My long solo auto trips are pretty well over, but I manage with planned guided tours. The church choir is expecting to go back to England next summer (2023) and sing under the direction of John Rutter (famous composer/director).

I also take tours not associated with the choral groups. I did a cruise of the Snake and Columbia Rivers followed immediately by a land tour of Alaska last September, and I've a 21-day tour of western National Parks set for this September.
