Thanks so much! Great to hear that you too are here! I enjoyed the Point<br/>
Roberts page, especially how detailed you made it. Nothing was left to<br/>
wonder about!<br/>
Narva is indeed a Russian town in Estonia, and thanks to the less<br/>
bureaucratic Estonian state, they now are far ahead of their neighbors in<br/>
Ivangorod (which once was Estonian under the name of  Jaanalinna). You are<br/>
right that Narva and Ivangorod is separated by the Narva river, but there is<br/>
also some 100-meters with land border, making them twin cities, as it is<br/>
between the twin cities of Valga (EST) and Valka (LV).<br/>
<br/>
Valga town has her own homepage on www.valga.ee but unfortunately it is<br/>
still only in Estonian language. Anyhow, if you are interested, you may find<br/>
a better and more updated map on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.valga.ee/images/ValgaKaartu.jpg">http://www.valga.ee/images/ValgaKaartu.jpg</a><br/>
with a high-resolution map (1,2MB). It looks like that, at several points,<br/>
the border is passing through buildings. Some years ago I got this confirmed<br/>
by tourists who had visited the town. (I have not been visiting Valga/Valka<br/>
myself yet, but it is only about 500 km from where I am living, but...!!!)<br/>
