Don and Nina in Tartu


I am having fun this weekend hosting Don and Nina who are visiting Estonia for 5 days. Their time in Tartu coincides with the annual 'Student Days' Spring festival, a weeklong prelude to the holiday on May 1st which involves various outdoor activities, concerts, drinking competitions, etc. The picture above shows Don and Nina sampling local cuisine in the beer tent that has been set up in Tartu's main square. Below is an example of one of the eccentric competitions happening during the Student Days, this one involving seeing who can sit on the tallest tower of plastic crates without falling off. The guy in the picture was the best one we saw, managing 22 boxes before everything came tumbling down.


And this is Don modeling the local handicrafts ... .
