    Short Meet & Greet at the Monument to Estonia's Independence from the Soviet Union

                                                                                      

Vader&zoon from The Netherlands are on a trip through the Baltics. We are always keen on meeting fellow cachers (local or visitors), swapping TB's and exchanging idea's and experiences. Therefore we will be organizing another Event, a short Meet & Greet. It will be held at the Monument to Estonia's Independence from 17.00-17:30 (or longer when we are having fun :-) 

The monument includes a large granite boulder, with its accompanying glass marker in three languages (Estonian, English, Russian), which briefly describes the most recent independence of Estonia. It reads: "Estonia's road to freedom from the decades long occupation by the Soviet Union was complicated and full of hazards. On 18 January 1991, after the bloody events in Vilnius and Riga, all access roads to Toompea were blocked with boulders and concrete blocks. On 20 August 1991, during the attempted coup d'etat in Moscow, The Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia passed a resolution about the state sovereignty of Estonia. The Replublic of Estonia was restored without bloodshed and casualties. This boulder was one of the blocks on the road to Toompea. It was turned into a memorial in August 1993."

We can be found at the grass or the low wall next to the monument. Of course we will take Covid 19 into account and all participants of this Event will have to keep their distance to one another. We are looking forward to see who will be meeting us! Please bring your Trackables and Woodies!

Challenge:                                           

We will bring some typical Dutch delicacies for you to taste: stroopwafels (see picture). Can you bring some of your own local delicacies for us to try in return? Would be great!
