And now, the exciting conclusion of our Tallinn Scenes series...
  | 
| Our final goal for the day: Tallinn's central market | 
  | 
| Baking bread the old fashioned way | 
  | 
Not much else about the market was old-fashioned...it would have been right at home in any American suburbopolis; this scene is in the one very large seafood store | 
  | 
| Eventual fate of all original Fiat 500s | 
  | 
| Finished bread and baker's assistant | 
  | 
| Back in old town | 
  | 
| Rarest of sights...following a printed map | 
  | 
| "Shire...Baggins..."...what are the Nazgul doing here?! | 
  | 
| So next day we are approaching and entering the upper fortress | 
  | 
| Looking out at a bit of modern Tallinn | 
  | 
In the inner fortress, the Alexander Nevsky Russian Orthodox Church; very Russian-looking | 
  | 
| Clandestine shot of the altar area | 
  | 
For our next church, in order to evade the 2 euro charge, we decided to fall in between cruise ship excursion groups #78 and #79 and hopefully pass unnoticed | 
  | 
| The church, a former Lutheran one, I think... | 
  | 
"Famous" for displaying the crests and shields of Estonia's great (Protestant?) families; at this point, we were done, opted out of the excursion groups and headed back to a great Indian restaurant for dinner (next post); and for packing up for our next removal... |
