Hello, Emanhaud...picking up on Finland & Russia... I would love to travel to those countries, Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania too. Might as well throw in Scandinavia as well. I was in the US Army in Mannheim Germany from 1985-87. Got to see France, England, Benelux, Italy, and Spain. During Chernobyl back in 1986 I was outside every day with radiological instruments... we were less than 800 miles west of there, and got a lot of measurable fallout. Hopefully all the German beer I drank flushed out the radiation!
Thanks for the friend invite, Emanhaud. I recognized the arms of Finland from the "Great Arms" of the Russian Empire (in use up to 1917); the Grand Duchy of Finland was one of the 15 principalities whose arms surrounded the double-headed eagle. I have always enjoyed heraldry, and other medieval and renaissance arts. See you around the stacks, best regards, Sieur Jehan
