Godoy in Tallinn

     Dear Fran,

     my friend Godoy has just arrived from Estonia and  has immediately sent me some photos and his first impressions about the country.

     <<11/09/19. Wednesday.

     Today is Arvo Pärt's birthday. 84 years old. Congratulations, Maestro!

The neighbourhood

     I am in the neighbourhood of 'Os Blumthal'. The first thing I've done this morning has been to look for the Tallinn Racecourse. When I found it, I took a few pictures of a trotter that was training. Right now I am on 13th Street Lille. It is a neighborhood with many wooden houses, although the Blumthal one is already completely new and is not made by wood. On a plaque on its facade you can read Eesti Autorite Ühing. I don't know why, but I'm lazy to leave this place and I think about the experiences that these streets have lived and that have been stored in the four walls of a house and in the memories of families. Many of those stories we will never know, I don't even think we have the right to know them. Mooni, Kullerkupu, Loo, Kasvu…

Gray block

     There are few restaurants around here, to say none. At least from Luha to Sakala. Mealtime is very advanced and I am really quite hungry. I don't care about an Italian, a Chinese or an Argentine. About an Estonian restauran… Nothing, not even a burger.

 Lille Street

     I have to get to Pärnu mnt to enter the Asian Aroma. After finishing with a tasty plate of rice and some spring rolls, I continue discovering this city.

Lille 13

When passing near the Kontserdisaal I hear rehearsals of a soprano. I take some photos and continue towards the port.

Tallinna Sadam

     A lot of water is falling and it has caught me going towards Tallinna Sadam. It's 6 pm. I see the Finland ship leaving for Helsinki at 6:30. I cannot believe that this marine mastodon moves away so smoothly.>>
