The first week has flown by. As you can tell from the students' posts, we have been very busy. Encouragingly, the students have not complained much and have exhibited flexibility, which is so vital to enjoying a trip abroad. This weekend is dedicated to some much-needed free time.
Several people have asked my impressions of this group. I can honestly say this group is a joy with which to work. I have four observations: 1) this group is typically on time; 2) this group is very cohesive; 30 this group seems to look out for each other especially well; and, 4) they are very enthusiastic about learning.
The attached picture includes the students and Taavi Roivas, a member of the Estonian Parliament and Chairman of the Finance Committee. He met with us to tell us about politics in Estonia. Interestingly, he has been to Auburn and studied at the Von Mises Institute. He is the first Estonian I have met that has been to Auburn.

If you have access to Facebook, I have posted more pictures on the AU Central and Eastern European Studies Program facebook page.
