A Cycling Trip in Estonia around Misso

Besides the countries I listed ten posts ago, there was also Estonia. We went there for the weekend with 🚲🚴♀️🚴♂️ to get some riding in. We totally managed to do that, though not without some arguments and fights. When traveling, understandably, this is hard to avoid, especially if you barely discuss your goals and routes. Of course, lack of sleep takes its toll too. Often 👨👩 are triggered by their personal traumas from the past, like post-traumatic stress disorder in 💂♀️💂♂️. You can draw a parallel, but labeling personality traits with terms from the DSM (the classification of mental disorders) isn't a good idea. It invalidates the experience of those who are genuinely sick. When your anxiety, for example, is highly pronounced, it's called a character accentuation. But if it straight up controls your whole life, then it's a disease. You should go to a doctor and get a diagnosis, rather than enduring it to the bitter end. You'll destroy yourself if you blow it off. I guarantee it! Worst case scenario, buy some lavender oil. It's one of the few supplements that's proven to help with anxiety.

In Estonia, we didn't venture deep inland; we stayed near the border, around Misso. A very picturesque place. There were so many hills that our elevation gain on the first day was 750 meters by the barometer. That is seriously a lot for the Baltics. Along the way, we stopped by some beat-up, weird-looking 🗼 where the stairs are built in such a way that as you climb, you literally get in your own way. When we got down, an 👴 from a nearby farmstead came over and started chatting with us in heavily Estonianized Russian. It wasn't easy to understand him, but we still found out that he built the 🗼 just for kicks, and this one is already his fourth! We were instantly glad that we survived the visit. Because there's absolutely no telling whether the dude has a construction degree and a blueprint with load calculations. Still, kudos to him for creating stuff like this — most people in the countryside just get hammered, at least in Latvia. Maybe that's the secret to why Estonians are leaving us so far behind. They have a super widespread practice of self-service 🍎🍏 and 🍅🥒 sales by the road — you drop some cash, you take the apples. I've seen that in Lithuania too, and with honey, no less!. And even in Latvia it exists in some places. But people arriving from the country that must not be named are a little dumbfounded by this kind of futurism.

I hope that someday we will live in a world where this is the norm.
