Two days ago, we celebrated Midsummers Eve (Jaanip?ev). It is the longest day of the year, and it is a big holiday for Estonians. Everyone puts up he Estonian flag and then they build bonfires and stay up very late. During that time we even went waterskiing. Arvo took people out on his boat, then let them try to waterski if they wanted to. I didnt do it because the wetsuit didn’t fit me. The water was too cold to be going in just swimming trunks. It was a very fun time.
The next morning we all slept in. At about 11:30, Matt, Leah, Arvo, Kaie, and I went on a short 3 kilometer hike. Most of it was boardwalk. In fact 2 1/2 of the kilometers were just of boardwalk. When we got back to the car, we drove to a nearby lake and swam. It was overpopulated on the beach, so we went and found our own spot. After swimming, we were going to go hike one more trail that lead to a good climbing boulder, but we couldn’t seem to find the trail so we just drove home.
