Hello From Tallinn, Estonia!!

I came home after work today to find an envelope and a postcard with my name on them. Both items are from postcrossing.

One is a private swap (the envelope from Prague) and the other was a postcard from Estonia. I will post the postcards from Prague in another post.

Tallinn is the capital city in Estonia and it is also the largest. It is located in the northern coast of Estonia, near the Gulf of Finland.

Tallinn's Old Town was declared an Unesco World Heritage Sites in 1997.

It was also named as a European Capital of Culture for 2011. European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the European Union for one full calendar year. During the year the city organises cultural activities and events with a strong European dimension as well.
