been too long

Well, sorry everyone for not posting in such a long time. there is WAAAYYY too much to put in this post so i will just give an overview:
my last few days in tomsk were wonderful. being with friends and just having fun, eating my fajitas like we ate blair's last year (thanks blair) the last night was excellent as well. On monday, Denis and i went to look for my ticket to turkey...there wasn't a single ticket for less than $700. so...i decided that i would go back to tallinn via moscow. i took a plane to moscow and then a train to tallinn. my mistake was that the train didn't actually get to the border of russia/estonia until the 11th, about 4am...which is 4 hrs too late for the russian officials to stamp my visa because it expired on the 10th. yep, don't overstay your russian visa...they don't like it...long story short, they did let me out of russia on the next train...after a rather hilarious runabout trying to get something called an "exit visa" crazy russian rules...but i am now in Tallinn!! I'm staying with a family here--nikolai, the dad, is one of the ministers for the church here. so...future plans...anyone have any ideas? i'm still trying to figure out what to do, but as soon as i know, i will post it on here...possibilities include flying to turkey, flying to frankfurt, other things...who knows. i will give more detailed and funny stories in the near future hopefully!!
