Last friday, we had a rendez-vous with other volunteers in Parnu, before taking a boat to a small island called Kihnu. But we decided to come a little earlier so as to visit this nice seaside city, on the estonian west coast. The weather was a little chilly and windy, but because of the end of the school year, hords of students were costumed and were having a big water fight in the city center with water guns. probably a good way to chill out (especially with this cold weather !).
We decided to warm up in a small café and received a c&all from one of our volunteer/friend named Sario. (the italian guy from our on-arrival training). He had arrived in Parnu and we decided to have lunch together, which ended up being very refined in decoration and quality of the food, but not expensive at all !
Then we went for a walk around town and entered an orthodox church, where a russian lady tried to talk with us, but we couldn’t make out all she said. Finally, we decided to visit the city museum, wich had a selection of objects from different times in the city’s history and some stuffed animals showing the local fauna. A nice visit, which gave us a good perspective of Parnu’s history.
Coming out of the museum and just before meeting the others, we fell on a small traditional dance show, performed by local schools. A good excuse to lay in the grass and enjoy the sunshine which was starting to come out of the clouds…
