Flat Tires and Walks and Such

Tere!

Today my host brother and I went on a "bike ride". Halfway to our final destination, my sandal broke and my tire went flat. My host mum did say that there might be problems with the bike, but we didn't know how or when or if. But now we know how and when and if, and it did happen. So Mihkel let me go on his bike and he rode the one with the flat tire back home.

The past few days have been really lovely. Mihkel and I went for a walk in this park/forest area, and we've been watching Freaks and Geeks. He likes the same music I do, and has a similar sense of humor so he's really a great host brother.

My host mum, Reet, bought me Tom ja Jerry, ja Miki Hiir to help me learn Estonian. Estonian is a very logical language. It's just all of the conjugations that make it difficult. It is also difficult to pronounce "õ".

This weekend Mihkel and I are going to sleepover at other Mihkel and Mari's summer home.

The weather here is beautiful and I am very happy.
Siin on ilus ilm, ja ma olen väga õnnelik.

Tšau,
Anu

Estonia

So I came back from Finland on the 11th of August where I was greeted by my host family, Mari and Mihkel (mari and mihkel are my internet friends). I've been keeping a journal so I don't feel like giving out all the details. We all basically just hung out for a bit, then I went to my new home.

My host family is so lovely. I couldn't be luckier. My host mum and brother are so nice and have been really welcoming.
I don't feel homesick, instead I feel right at home.

Yesterday Mihkel, Mari, other Mihkel, and Nele (another internet friend who is best friends with Mari) showed me around Old Town and a bit outside of it.  It was sooo nice and it was really great to finally meet my internet friends :D

Miku and I, went to go watch the shooting star shower thing last night. I had only seen 1 shooting star prior to this, and last night I saw 11!

Tallinn on väga ilus.

Mulle meeldib minu pere.

ok I had to throw in some of the little Estonian I know :D

From my window, I can see the sea and a field of grass.
This is like a fairytale.
