On the ferris wheel above Helsinki. You can’t see it from this picture, but I am literally the only one on the entire wheel… so naturally I had to take a selfie.

This dinner was an example of Scandanavian art

this tasted as great as it looks

Thank you Janne for hosting my days in Helsinki! It is a beautiful city. Maybe one of my all time favorite.
Don’t mention it Lydia – it was a true pleasure to host you 🙂 My only difficulty was to answer my mother when she asked what Lydia liked especially: “Why, she genuinely liked everything” 😉
haha that is very true! there was absolutely nothing I didn’t like about Finland.
