It is filled with lovely shops, restaurants and historical buildings. The history goes back to 1250 as a city area and before that as an agricultural region. The golden leaves made walking around the city a pleasant reminder of the cool, crisp days of autumn.

Some of the signs near the shops still echo the practice of centuries gone by when a sign could be shaped or depicting particular products.

Since I noted an upcoming trip to Ireland, I did make that trip and I was also in Estonia for several days. I love Estonia it is so interesting and although it was my third trip, I still find new things to see and experience in Tallinn. On this trip i also went to the university city of Tartu.

I saw castles, gardens, museums, historical sites encompassing its Viking and Roman heritage and many wonderful shops and stores. I loved the pubs and the world famous Guiness pints we hear so much about. It was a magical visit. I stayed at a Bed and Breakfast created in an old Georgian home near the center of Dublin. Lovely building, no elevators and an Irish breakfast served every morning! It was delightful.

I wil places some pictures of this lovely building and other on my new page Ireland.

Its advent marked the beginning of instantaneous communication and the ability to research countless topics. I wish it had been around when I was in college would life have been easier!!!

The notion that geography just involves the use of maps and globes and latitude and longitude has been replaced by the attitude of going global and learning about all aspects of a country's culture not just its location. In looking at any country we might ask ourselves: What is the culture like? What religions are recognized? What kind of food do they eat? How do they dress? How do they travel? What are the environmental issues to be dealt with? What region of the world are we addressing? Wwhat is the importance of this country to us in the United States? Our newest country, Southern Sudan, would agree. They feel that their issues are as important as those of any country and their indepenence shows their willingness to work with others.

To this end it is important that all of us be as well educated as possible in all of the aspects of life in any given country.
