Estonia - Tallinn - Sweet almonds

"Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a couple of nuts."

For 10 days I have been travelling through the cold Baltic states, connecting the three capitals of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: Medieval Tallinn, Art Nouveau Riga and Baroque Vilnius.

 

As always, the first job after returning from a trip is to sift through the pictures, making a selection for editing, while nibbling on these delightful sweets I brought from Tallinn.

One of Tallinn's best restaurants is Olde Hansa, a historically accurate medieval feasting venue. Across the Old Town, you can also find their huge-wheeled carts, grilling and selling sweet-n-spicy almonds, following an ancient recipe.

 

First upload with my new Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. Look out for more ;-)
