Weekend Trip South

We headed down south to the border of Estonia and Latvia, and not far from neighboring Russia, for a weekend in nature and in the sauna. Our journey took us to Misso, and, although no one in the car even giggled my dry-humored attempts to joke about miso soup, there really is no connection.

With a couple of friends, we rented a cottage for the evening on Lake Pullijärv, a very quiet and gorgeous spot. As there had recently been a hard freeze and a bit of snow, everything had that crisp, brisk feeling of fall. Coupled with our rustic accommodation - no running water and good wood-heated ovens and stoves - we really felt as if we had left the city far behind and could enjoy a simpler, more peaceful existence for a couple of days.
