In the November/December 2007 issue of National Geographic Traveler, Estonian-born Priit Vesilind returns to explore the countryside with his son Bill, who is now living in Estonia and renovating his grandfather's house. The house was built on top of medieval ruins, the symbolism of which Vesilind uses to good effect. Their trip, ranging from the fast-paced nightlife of Tallinn to the relaxing waters of the Pärnu beach resort, culminates in an eerie visit to an art installation of hundreds of suitcases in a field, all painted white, representing Estonian residents who fled the country ahead of the Soviets and never returned.
