My Travel Adventures

Contrary to the gloomy predictions of the weather forecast, today was a lovely day. I began the morning at Freedom Square, where I took pictures of the column to the 1918-1920 War of Independence. Using the symbolism of this location, a large banner of Ukraine’s and Estonia’s flags hangs from the large building at the northern end of the square. Somewhat to the detriment of the message, the building houses Tallinn’s Department of Transportation and has a rating of 2.2 stars on Google Maps.

Having finally found a job, I realised I do not need to spend all my days searching for one. My new posting will begin in June, and until then I will be using this suddenly brief period of freedom to travel and visit friends. Thinking of where to go, I remembered that I thoroughly enjoyed my travels last summer, when my wanderings took me to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It was warm but not hot, the days overflowed with many golden hours, and the weather mostly stayed sunny. Since I have not yet been to the Baltics, the concrete choice of destination was easy.
