#24 part 2-2 - Next day

Next day
Church only seen from bus by Katrin
and saw the statue of person
who made my pronounciation of Emajõgi all wrong
then
Zoological Museum
exhibits the same as when
Katrin was a child
butterflies
with many colours
the first determining the summer colour
a peacock butterfly stands out
a stork taking and bringing souls
An Australian Bird
An actual peacock
Then a deer
with bambi; I thought
and memorised.
Then the exhibit
she always liked to see
two wolves attacking an
elk or moose we could not decide
the moose looking likely to lose
but hasn't for all these years
The rock museum                      
metorite from Simuna
pointed out by Teet
a guestbook writing
of a great museum from me from Great Britain
a cafe
like museums
would never have found alone
cafe mix of soviet and new
paying for food again
2nd  hand bookshop
üks Kroon Kids book for Katrin's Kids
convinved 2 books for myself
Uni library
Money trip to ATM
not allowed in library unless we
pretend to be in a conference
Tartu University History Museum
In the ruins of a church
History abound
Katrins  intwined
Names mostly starting with K
 Prince Charles' signature
A view of the arches of the ruins
back way through university
Art Museum
our names spelt in Greek
Main hall closed
Someone's office from Katrin's Uni days
closed too
John's Church
This time up the tower
Although had to get unlocked
Disoriented
Bells of Peter and Paul
Uni finally spotted
Walles inside still leaning
Organ in wrong place

Many things remembered
Many forgotten

A walk back to the bus station
"You should walk over this bridge and count the steps"
 before some more bad good byes  by me
but a hope of maybe seeing English music
and visiting England
and maybe or not seeing in Tallinn
a hug and Bye..for now

As I have to go home sometime to fill the blog
