We slept in and had a wonderful breakfast and then Risto and his family took us into Tallinn for more sightseeing. We went to Kadriorg, where there are several beautiful buildings (palaces) built by Peter the Great. Then we went to the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds, where we learned all about the Singing Revolution, which is credited with how Estonia was able to gain it's independence while avoiding much bloodshed. Then Risto and his family went to a birthday party while we spent more time in old town, visiting more museums, a Dominican Monastery (where we now have free admission for life), the Town Hall Square, and the Holy Ghost Church. In the evening, we returned to Risto's house, where we had another relaxing evening.
