Hello! Just a short notice to announce that Pia has been here in Tallinn to
teach us SCD and she also called a ceilidh last Friday. She definitely has
charmed us all. :-) 

There are some pictures from the ceilidh at our website - I will add SCD
pictures ASAP.

Eike will know better than me, but we had classes in all these wonderful old
buildings from 1400 and 1500.   Had a wonderful time - Eikes group and Eike
herself are really go-ahead and keen and all really wonderful people.

The mails about Estonia bring back happy memories.  In July 2003, members of
the Monaco and Mougins Scottish Dance Groups made a week's visit to Estonia.
Thanks to friends Sirje and Andruus, not to mention the friendly folks at
Estravel in Tallinn we saw a great deal of this fascinating country and even
managed a little dancing.  At a Folk Festival on Saaremaa we were taught a
little Estonian dance and my last memory is of our 4 friends dancing it for
us on the quay in Talinn as we took the JetFoil back to Helsinki.  A short
feature is available on the Monaco SCD web site -

To anyone considering a visit to Estonia, I say - Think no more, Go Now,
before the Cruise Ships wreck the place ....

Yes - definitely worth a visit - it was wonderful, the weather fantastic,
the surroundings restful - I was treated like a VIP and everybody was so
friendly and nice, and Eike has already grasped the beginning of SCD - I was
put up in a B&B attached to a Daycare Center for the Elderly!!!!! :>)
During the day - little old ladies kept running past me in the corridors as
I walked gingerly to my room.

	Do you think that was because they went to bed early?? 
Or earlier??

It was a day center - and truth be told I was in a house attached to it -
except for the one night when I slept in a room in the center itself -
sharing with two budgies called:  Hans and Grethe.
