Today was a celebration of fall and the Estonian love of mushrooms (yes, I know what you are thinking... and, no, not that kind of mushrooms!). Despite drizzling weather, I headed downtown to check it out. Along with the requisite display of mushrooms -- both edible and toxic -- there was live music and tiny booths selling local handicrafts. I guess the number of wool socks and gloves, knitted scarves, heavy sweaters, and woolen blankets forbade of some rather cool weather ahead. I bought a couple of pairs of wool socks and will consider myself prepared for the time being. As for the mushrooms, I decided not to partake but enjoyed their beautiful shapes and colors.

The festival was called "Maarjalaat" which translates to St. Mary's Fair. It was great to meet you & I hope to see you more often in Tartu.
