Estonia ( most of you do not even know
where it is Without looking, the capital is Tallinn. (I wasn't 100% sure, so I peeked.) But I can't remember the capital of Lithuania. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Yogi Berra |

Estonia is also home to one of my favorite composers...Arvo Part. I
frequently listen to his music while hacking away on trees in the basement!

Yes, but....to those of us of Baltic descent, it is important. Through marriage, treaties, etc. Lithuania was once large enough to include much of the Austro/Hungarina Empire. It is a country rich in history and culture. Unfortunately, the Ukraines, Balts, and Poles never trusted there own people, let lone those of neigboring countries. So they sold out thier intersts to other powers that could grant them a supposed share of the spoils. Always a hard headed people, I bravely carry on the tradition.
