Day 18: 'Tan'

Another day to the beach, this time to 'tan.' The problem there is that I don't tan as much burn. You can pretty much predict the outcome of that endevour.

Before that, the day started off with a trip with roommate to the small exhibits at the Museum of New Art located a short way from our hostel. The oil paintings section were by far the better part of the exhibit, while the "Man and Woman" exhibit...well, let's just say I wasn' able to take pictures of that part due to content issues most of the time.

In all, Parnu has turned into a fantastic location to have some free time to wander around. It's a beach town through and through, with its little cafes and seaside boardwalk. And, though the weather helped, it has a nice sunny comfortable feel to its parks and long tree lined streets.

For dinner we went to a somewhat old Russian fare. There were pig ears involved. Last dinner with the entire group together. Yep, a nice small group full of people with various quirks and oddness, but, we've gotten along well, enduring trials and tribulations across the wilds of Estonia. Or just fending off paperboys.

The day was finished with a trek to their seawall to watch the sunset. Actually, since its the Baltic Sea to the east, the sun was setting off behind the trees, but a trip to the seawall was worth it, seeing the sea and birds turn peach, violet, and indigo with the shifting skies. We heard the pounding of the seaside club coming across the water, the whisper of waves, and slight cries of surprise as we tried to keep balence on the rocks of the seawall.
