Haapsalu

This weekend I went to Haapsalu. ... Here's a map:

FYI: In order to get from Tartu to Haapsalu or vice-versa, you pretty much gotta go through Tallinn, which takes around 5 hours. ... Let me assure you, it is a very, very long 5 hours.

Haapsalu has always been one of my favorite destinations in Estonia because Marje lives there. She and her husband own a farm/paradise just outside of town and I have spent many unforgettable summer nights there being eaten by mosquitoes and laughing with friends and relatives around the bonfire.

This time, however, the weather was less conducive to bonfires and much more conducive to MUSHROOMS.

It took three people 10 minutes to fill two buckets and a basket of mushrooms around Marje's house (which, incidentally, is the unbelievably picturesque thatched-roof cottage behind us).


Then we cleaned 'em.

Then we fried 'em with onions and added an enormous quantity of sour cream.

Then we ates 'em for lunch.

The end.
