Porvoo and Potholes

Yesterday I made a quick trip over to Porvoo, the second oldest town in Finland and a pretty big tourist attraction. Unfortunately, I arrived pretty late in the day so I wasn't able to play tourist as much as I would have liked. I did see all the key points though and I liked what I saw so I'm sure I'll be back to go in the shops and eat in a restaurant-boat on the river.

Nevertheless, it was a good, quick trip and I had a lovely "tour guide".  I saw not only quaint Porvoo, but also the Potholes, major craters created by glaciers in the granite hills. Pretty cool I suppose. For the most part I just enjoyed being out of the city and having the opportunity to clear my head a bit. I loved the bus ride through the countryside and taking a walk through a meadow by the river. Sometimes it's the simple things that do us the most good. Finland, I think we're back on track with one another.
