Greetings from Tartu, Estonia! It's a lovely little university town and definitely worth a visit. These pictures are from the Estonian National Museum, which is enormous. It was built on top of a former Soviet airport. Today, it has an extensive exhibition of Finno-Ugric cultures and some of the more recent history of Estonia. The latter exhibition was not my favorite, but if you're in Tartu, you should come and check it out yourself.

It's also fun to listen to Estonian, it's our relative language and I can understand some of it. Estonia is one of the very few places in the world where people understand Finnish!
