Another Day in Tallinn

Today, Jen & Bryan joined us at the corps, helping out in the band and hanging out with our young people. By mid-afternoon, we were ready to take in a few more sights in Tallinn. We went to the Nunna, Sauna and Kuldjala Towers, which are medieval towers that are part of the original city walls. The three towers are connected by a walkway that stands about three storys high. It is a great example of architecture of the time. For description of the towers, click here.

We were joined by a bunch of friends from the corps, which added to the fun. Here we are in Nunna tower, which is one of the larger towers.

Walking between the towers, you could look over the railings on the inner city wall, or look through the small openings on the outer city wall, which you could imagine soldiers peering through when the city was under seige.

A the top of Sauna Tower, the smallest of the three, you could see the interior of the red tile roof that is part of Old Town Tallinn's character. We could only fit Chris, Jen, Elizabeth, Keit, Priit, Bryan and Peter.
