This made me laugh. I just knew you were building up to a limping boat. I kept thinking, did they bring the oars, did they bring the oars?!! A retrograde Mercury excuses a lot of things! Happy your trip turned out well.

I enjoyed this so much I went back to read all your Finland posts. An Ironman! WOW! We’re enjoying our travels here very much. Currently in Rauma, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with old wood houses and cobbled streets. Tomorrow we’ll tour Alvar Aalto’s masterpiece Villa Mairea. Of course, I want to move here permanently.

Thank you, Julie! We want to go back for sure, but the winters dampen our desire to move there.
