Finland has been interesting, inspiring, and mystifying. The past week's tour of Helsinki, Turku, and Kuopio has been fab and on occasion dizzying. I've experienced my first smoke sauna, fought off mosquitoes in a rainy spruce forest, wondered at the many Swedish and Russian influences, and found myself confounded time and time again by the Finnish language. More to follow. For now, three images of Finland from the past six days.
Newspaper weather map.
Illuminated apartment address marker, Turku.
Finnish Railways train car signage.
So jealous right now! I want to go to Scandinavia.
