Lonely Planet writer Anna Kaminski describes why she loves Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania. "When I was growing up in the Soviet Union, the Baltics were still part of the Motherland, and they're intertwined in my mind with my own family's experiences: my grandparents sunbathing on a beach in Pärnu; my mother hiking in Ignalina's forests. As an adult, I came to know the Baltics more intimately and to fully appreciate their centuries-old architecture, the cobbled lanes of the capitals and the detritus of communism, stripped of its former power. Plus, the fizz of kvass and the conforting, spud-heavy Baltic cuisine never fail to take me back to my childhood."
