Hei from Vaasa! We are still enjoying cold but sunny weather and today we went on a 2 hour bus tour of the city which was very interesting, and we had a visit to a primary school where we listened to a fabulous childrens' choir, then Laurel went to a police station (they didn't keep her) :) Oh, and we made a presentation to a Rotary Club! Another quite busy day in the life of....So we are all getting such good food, I'm worried about the weight allowance going home, not for the luggage, for me! The Finns are super hosts, making changes all the time for us and we are just enjoying each other, I think. Hope you readers are getting the flavor of Finland - it's warm and salty :) Yesterday we actually received a gift of a cookbook so that's nice. We went to Marimekko too, very Finnish but a little expensive. I seem to be collecting pens along the way but I'm not a kleptopeniac! We have been giving out lots of souvenirs and they really appreciate them. It's very nice to be exchanging Rotary banners and information also. So much is the same, of course, but it's good to see that the Rotary ideals are everywhere. So I think some others of the team will post photos but I just wanted to say hello to all of you and thanks for coming along on this incredible journey with us.

Hi there ...
ReplyDeleteJust this A.M. having a first look at your blog.
What fun !!!
Trying to remember where we were and what we saw while in Finland (Trafalgar tour) Of course, it was much too short a time and we wouldn't have had near the adventure that you are having.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people !!
