I love living vicariously through your travels and meals. You show some
amazing places and show it well. What is the significance of the red
straps/ribbons in your anti-Russian posters photos?
I taught a few years with a lady who was from Estonia. She had some
stories.

Estonia is a small country but it has a rich history, and a connection to my country Denmark—our flag, Dannebrog, supposedly fell from heaven in 1219 during a battle just outside Tallinn. More recently, Estonia has suffered in the 20th century, having to fight for independence from Russia after World War I, then being occupied by the Russians for four decades after World War II. But today it is a modern, prosperous country, member of the EU and NATO, one of the world’s most advanced digital economies. At the same time, the medieval centre of Tallinn is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, providing for a wonderful blend of old and new. As usual, I also visited a contemporary art museum, conveniently located close to my hotel. A rather large gallery from a wonderful place is here:
