I just thought I would give you a glimpse into my life living like an Estonian. This is the building that I will be living in while I am not at camp! It is a one bedroom apartment which the Estonians would call a two room apartment. It is common to live in an apartment with just one room and a bathroom. The first week I did stay with a wonderful lady named Eva in a one room apartment. She took great care of me! I moved last night into my own apartment. If some you don't know, Kyli, my daughter, is flying over this Thursday with my mom. My mom will stay for 10 days and fly back, and Kyli will stay the rest of the summer with me.
Another tidbit of info of my new "Estonian" life is that I don't have a car this summer! I am taking the bus or walking unless I happen to miss the bus or something like that! Which has happened a few times already!! :) I am also understanding while Estonians go to the store every day. When you don't have a car you have to carry everything the whole way home! Some things don't seem so necessary anymore, especially when your arms start hurting from carrying heavy bags! Also, the other picture above shows how to do laundry. I am blessed to have a washing machine, and then you hang your clothes on this dryer! It takes a little bit more planning! Well, that is all for now! Have a blessed day!
