Mind the 11 Month Winter

Thank God we spent the afternoon in Riga. When we arrived in Parnu (known for Estonia's most beautiful beaches and bustling nightlife) it was completely deserted. As in, we could only find one hotel that was even open. The receptionist informed us that it is only busy here July. Someone is going to have to explain to me how the "summer season business model" is sustainable if winter is 11 months long. Needless to say, we don't have much to write. The highlight of the night after dinner was teaching Katie how to drive stick around the deserted streets. Tomorrow we're off to Finland for hopefully more exciting adventures including an arctic bar and mass quantities of alcohol.
