I found the sign in pizza restorant in Haapsalu.
Kodu on seal kus on su suda. Kodu on see, kus on soe ja armas. Minu kodus kasvab hetkel kaks kullatukki. Kodus juhtuvad ponevad asjad.

Sunday in Haapsalu
Haapsalu is a quiet little resort town in West Estonia. It's history goes back more than 700 hundred years ago and has been popular resort town over 100 years. Even Russian royal family has spend its summers vacation here in Haapsalu. In addtion to them, the world famous composer Pjotr Tchaikovsky visited the town as well.
We spend our Sunday also just walking along the Promenade through old town till castle ruins. Here are the pictures.
This building is called Kuursaal. Inside it has a restorant and caffee.
On Sundays inside there are small concerts.

Haapsalu
For my summer vacation, I went to Estonia with my kids. It has been 6 years since I was here the last time and a lot has changed. My hometown is Haapsalu and it's really kid friendly. There are lots of beautiful playgrounds and beaches, many art programs and activities for kids and lots of sun. I'm having a great time here at the moment.
I just wanted to post some lovely random pictures from Haapsalu.

Kuursaal- currently restoran on the Promenade beach.
Ungru manor.
Train station in Haapsalu. Currently only a museum.
Another walking trail along the beach.
Haapsalu is surrounded by water in three sides, that's the reason for all the beaches.
