He was a very interesting chap too. He told the story about how a
bunch of drunken (insert country here) we caught as they were running
around the border. There are motion detectors along the vista, so its
easy to get caught.
He also showed us some coins that he found... looked like they were
from Czarist times.
It's unfortunate that there was such a language barrier, as I'm sure he
had plenty of great stories to tell. It's too bad that the border
expeditions aren't 10 weeks long -- then we could stay and visit with
people like the Estonian farmer for a whole day. Provided, of course,
that he covered up!
