In a crazy political time, it\u2019s refreshing to see some progress of anything positive getting done by the political higher ups \u2013 whether or not if they have political appointments. In this case, it was making strides in Tallinn.<\/p>\n

I thought it timely to read that 2nd<\/sup> Lady Karen Pense<\/a> is traveling throughout Eastern Europe and Tallinn, where I just was, to learn about and bring attention to art therapy.<\/p>\n

Art Therapy is a relatively new field in this area of the world and they are starting to see the benefits for participants as well as those involved as therapists.<\/p>\n

There was no way for me to notice this at the time in Tallinn, although I was told that Estonia is known for its high-tech innovation. It\u2019s where Skype was created.<\/p>\n

What I noticed was a town with medieval roots, as seen in the bucolic cobblestone streets of its Old Town at the top of the hill.<\/p>\n

However, down below in the main part of the business district and on the outskirts of town, there was a time warp with areas stuck in post Soviet style mixed with modern architecture.<\/p>\n

The Soviet Flashback was the most interesting tour we took. It was given by an innovative entrepreneur who had the last remaining Soviet bus. This is where our tour started with the guys pushing it to get it started and then vodka shots. His performance, while dressed in a Soviet guard uniform, was a parody of what life was like under Soviet regime controlling Estonia. It was not a happy time and it\u2019s still raw for people here to remember that many family members and friends were sent to prison for simply flying an Estonian flag.<\/p>\n

Unwelcoming concrete barriers exit along the shoreline. These are coincidentally pictured in front of the Walt Disney Cruise ship. Graffiti from earlier days and the revolution decorate some outskirt streets. Our guide was one of the revolutionaries who stood up to the Russians in a peaceful demonstration that called attention to their plight and eventually ended Russia\u2019s control.<\/p>\n

The Freedom Cross was a striking picture as we turned the corner going out of town and back to our ship. Tallinn is a place I\u2019d like to return.<\/p>\n
