What a weekend. Finally had a gorgeous sunny weekend here in Finland. Spent a lot of it sitting outside in parks eating sweet sweet finnish strawberries and drinking cider and long drinks. Spent most of friday wandering around an island with an open air museum. took some pictures of little lapland cottages, ducks, and squirrels.
Saturday I went up to Tampere for the day. Tried a blood sausage, went on a boat ride to another little island for more strawberries and a long drink, and had a lovely nap on the way back to Helsinki. We spent the evening at the Fornix once again and sang Karaoke using an internet program we downloaded and a projector screen. We sang for about 3 hrs while drinking or gin tonics and screwdrivers. Had a blast,
and have some incriminating video clips (with sound!) as well as a few choice photos to show for the night. At about 2 am we headed out to a local bar for a bit more fun...conversation topics ranged from boy scouts to abortion issues to pornography to fraternity/sorority parties. at about 330am paula and i headed back to home sweet home...30 min walk through the forest in daylight since the sun had already started rising by then. Sunday was another lazy day hanging around with the boys. So, overall we had lovely weather, lots to drink, not much sleep, and lots of fun :) may more weekends such as this come before I take my leave of reindeerlan ¶ 06:22
