Ahhh, Finland

This weekend I experienced a little bit of everything. Today (Sunday) was especially nice. I walked through the park, rode some trams, found my new favorite chocolate shop, took a boat trip, visited the olympic stadium, and ate some ice cream. Ahhh, Sundays.

Yesterday, on the other hand, was much more bizarre. Saturdays always are when you venture into the city. I don't believe there was a single sober person in Finland other than myself last night. In fact, the friendly fellow sitting across from me on the train even insisted on pulling all the empty bottles out his backpack to show me how much he drank. Then, he played the air drums for the rest of the ride. Ahhh, Finland.

I love Finland though, even for all it's alcohol-related flaws. I love public transportation, picking berries, boating the Baltic Sea, the architecture, the Finnish language, Korvepussti (my favorite Finnish treat), and how safe it is here.

So here are some more pictures of this place I love.
