Through the wardrobe....

This week, we've felt a little bit like we're living in Narnia before the return of Aslan. No, not in some super spiritual way, although I could go there (but that would really betray how nerdy I am about those books). But, living in Estonia is like being one of the Pevensie kids, walking into Narnia, and meeting Mr. Tumnus, who then tells them that it's been winter in Narnia for a hundred years.

It's been a really long stretch of cold for two people from Louisiana/Texas. Having spent January to March in Richmond, them arriving to a cold April here in Estonia, it's really a shock to the senses. Consistent weather is...weird.

I say all of this to say, we are so ready for some summer and some never ending days. We're told that people come out in droves and lay out in bathing suites on any open piece of grass, anywhere in the city. Plus, the summer warmth is said to make everyone that much more open and willing to talk, even to two strange Americans.
