Estonia



I really love this card received today through Postcrossing from Haana in Estonia.  The picture shows the Song Festival Grounds in Tallinn.  Haana writes about the song festival:  "Song Festival is an Estonia tradition.  The first song festival took place in 1869.  After that Estonia was under Russian occupation for almost 50 years till Estonians could sing their songs again.  :)  We sang ourselves free."

How cool is that?!?
