Here's a few pics from the towns we were in. Some from Finland, a couple from Estonia and a few from Stockholm. We were on the move a lot while we were there.
Belltower bigger than the church. The belltower and steeple were so tall I couldn't get in all in the viewfinder without getting far away from it. This is in Tallin, Estonia.
This is in Tallin again. I looked at all of these buildings and started wondering about how many million man-hours it took to build the buiildings in the old part of town. How many horse or ox drawn wagon loads did it take to haul all of the materials in?
Another shot of the old part of Tallin.
I think this street was in the old part of Stockholm. It's still used by cars but they drive pretty slow. These are apartment buildings. The doors all swing into the buildings for obvious reasons. Only the very old parts of the towns had streets like this. I didn't see any signs indicating one-way traffic on these streets, but maybe I wasn't looking for them. I probably wouldn't have known what they meant if I did see them!
I'm not very well versed in old Buicks, but this one didn't quite look like an American made version. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. Can anyone help me out on this?
Kind of an unusual type of construction of this steeple. Anyone who likes steeples will be on sensory overload in these countries. They come in every size and shape imaginable.
We don't see any signs like this in Iowa for sure! Some roads had these signs every few miles, or kilometers.
Heavy duty walker. People walk a lot more over there than they do in the US. Even the old folks. If they are on a downhill with one of these walkers they hop on and go for the ride or they push themselvels along with one foot like a scooter. Baby carriages are heavy duty with big wheels for easy rolling. They have a cover with a windshield that can be lowered down over the child during a rain shower. It's not uncommon to see a young mother pushing a stroller in the rain, holding an umbrella over herself with the baby looking out through the plastic windshield in the cover that's been lowered over it. Bicyclists are plentiful and they ride down the sidewalks, weaving through the people walking. Nobody gets excitied about it.
Oops, slipped this one by mistake. Who is that couple? Must be getting tired. So long for now. Jim

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
