honeymooning continued: pärnu

Sara recently taught me a few of her tricks in Photoshop. Now I'm a little less dependent on her to get pictures sized and edited to look dope. Hooray.

We updated a little from Riga but we never finished sharing Pärnu.

Pärnu is a beach town in Estonia located right of Pärnu Bay in the Baltic Sea. One day it was nice, sunny and windy, the next, it was cold and extremely calm. Check out what the wind did to these trees:

 The water was so calm this day:

In Pärnu we had time to relax and enjoy each other's company. It was very pleasant. We spent most of our days there in coffee shops, at the beach, or resting. There was a local market a block away and since we had a kitchen, we did a lot of cooking ourselves. The market had loads of fresh (and not so fresh) fish and was also well equipped with different meats and sausages, fresh produce, fresh eggs, pickled goods, and cheap clothes. The food was cheap and the atmosphere was fun. Shame I didn't get any pictures of the market, but I have plenty from the Central Market in Riga.

Not too much, not too little. Perfect size.

Just some fun pics:

Sara is working on some really cool design stuff right now. It's keeping her super busy but it is some of her best work yet. I'm blown away every time I see her screen. REALLY good.

Next up: our trip to Riga

pärnu : august 14th

yesterday morning we hopped a tram to take us to the tallinna bussijaam. after a two hour bus ride to pärnu. above is the first shot at the beach. note the beautiful sky, the two dozen kite surfers, and the giant crack in the lens. no worries, though, as it was only the UV protector.

we're staying in an apartment in downtown. it's a 10 minute walk to the beach, and it's really nice to finally have some real privacy.

our new kitten. for the next couple of days. he poops in the shower.

the mommy. "nipud" or "nipples" we call her. the kitten is "lekkivat" or "leaky." together, they are "leaky nipples."

tuna carpaccio at a restaurant called si-si.

kc on the "big yellow jumpy thing". see video below.

it's insanely windy here. all the trees lean away from the beach, and i found out why, standing on the dunes at sunset last night. we decided to attempt to recreate that sick national geographic image.
