Tallinn, Estonia
We have reached Tallinn, Estonia! Tallinn is a town in Estonia of around about 426,000 people, so quite a bit smaller than other cities we’ve stayed in. The Airbnb that we are staying in, is actually pretty nice! It has two floors. On the first floor, there is a bathroom, a living room, and a…
The Berlin Wall History
On August 3, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic began to build the antifascist barrier between East and West Berlin.

Sant Pol De Mar, Spain
Sant Pol De Mar, Spain has brought many surprises within our arrival. One of which includes the beach which is conveniently located right out our front door. The first day we got to Spain, the sand on our beach had been super high, showing no evidence of rocks lying beneath the sand’s surface. Then a…
Rome, Italy
We have been in Rome for a few days and have already seen so much. One thing I a particularly excited to see is the Coliseum. I read a book called Blood and Sand, it is an excellent book on Rome and Pompeii, and it taught me about how people use the Coliseum. For instance, the…
