Independence Day

Yesterday was Independence Day in Estonia, marking the 89th anniversary of Estonia's first independence. Sirli and I woke up early to go and see the flag raising ceremony outside the parliament at dawn. The flag is raised up "Tall Hermann", pictured here just before hand with the rising sun in the background. I must say i think it is the best singing of an anthem I have ever heard, the voices sounded like a profession choir!! The day was so cold that the army canceled its parade!!! My feet were so cold by the time we got home that I couldn't feel my toes!
