wander and walk over bridges
one was 68 steps over
but later only 62 steps back
I write silly verses
until I think Kadri is back
from Grand Canyon
A nervous call
Right number?
right person answering?
Tere? Hello?
O Hello is this Ian?
Before I could really say
Yes
A cocoa, definately not hot chocolate
and fish soup with useful translation
A talk of travels
some photos of summerhouse
invited to Kadri home
Son playing new game from London
A drink
and some potato porridge
A look through brochures
from the Canyon
with some stories
No photos as with husband
now in Mexico
Talk of nature photos
what is nature
a talk of British Competition with wolf jumping
which was disqualified
Old book of Tartu
Interesting, as not sure whether its promoting soviet or Estonia
Then to a page with old black and white photo
Again a deer
with her Bambi
Exactly the same
I laughed
Then
See you tomorrows and lift back
In the morning
Wondering if Kadri
was Sleeping off the flight
Another nervous call
Hi!
And then and impressive Tere hommikust
in car
as practised the morning before to Katrin and Teet
Shopping Centre
with Ice Hockey Pitch
and look for dad's present
hopefully a leaning flass
with leaning building
from Tartu
in past explained by Katrin
one side based on wood
the other on stone wall
I just hope the glass
survives
Anyway a postcard bought
and sent with Tartu Bridges
Also Tallinna Bread bought for train
Back to house
off to National Museum
This time no one paid for me
was free on Fridays
Kids camp inside
playing stringed instruments
and then someone with Estonian bagpipes
Different colour dress
different tools
different ways of life
timeline through ages
timeline through personal stories
which got to a Kadri's kids favourite pizza place
across the road
maybe not so good looking
but pizza good tasting
pizza all gone this time
A look around another hidden art gallery
This one scary
some distorted comic then distorted pencil drawings
of some nightmares
with a video playing with sound track of some other one
I said I hoped not to sleep on train
Then off to Train
with Kadri saying
I hope this was as expected
Yes it was
Good to see again
with tales of adventures
and stories of Estonia
and friendly times once more
So a quick good bye and off to train
but not before wanting to see photos of Grand Canyon and all
So on train I travel to Tallinn and eat my bread
