Jaanipäev and so on...

So this is mostly going to be pictures.  Wednesday, the 23rd, was a huge holiday in Estonia called Jaanipäev (meaning St. John's Day).  It's a day of celebration, bonfires, delicious food, and fun.  For most people, it involves a ridiculous amount of alcohol; for me, it involved going to a town called Jõgeva, which is where the youth group from my first camp is based.  I spent the day hanging out with people that don't speak much English, but the language barrier didn't stop us from having fun!

Night sky...crazy.

So that's that.

Peace and Love,
