Back from the big euro trip! Helsinki to st. Petersburg to Moscow to minsk to Vilnius to Riga to tallinn and back to Helsinki. All in all not a bad trip despite being a tour full of predominantly old people, with a couple that successfully fell into the "older" category. The photos will tell the story.
A few random thoughts:
- Russia is a strange place, and its not obvious to me how their culture will evolve moving forward. Communism is not dead and western capitalism is by no means embraced.
- Russia has insanely beautiful women. My neck hurts.
- riga was easily the most fun city, and one that I would love to live in. It successfully balanced local culture with tourism without feeling touristy (perhaps the only place to do so besides minsk, but that's minks after all).
