We started in Helsinki for a day and a half or so...

So, we started our trip in Helskinki to catch ourselves up to the time change. This began the beautiful weather we had during the entire trip. We dropped our bags at Hotelli Ava and headed in for a brief start on the city touring - such a calm, nice, managable city. During our stay here we got to see the Tuomiokirkko (Lutheran Cathedral), the Uspenskii Cathedral, and the Temppeliaukio (rock church) - three very different types of churches for sure.

We went to the Kauppatori market for some snacking and some gift buying, saw a great deal of ornate architecture and interesting detail, and got to sample some (I think) traditional Lappish cuisine.

All in all a great start to our trip. You can see more photos on my shutterfly web site.
