First Day of Finland



Sunday the 14th was really the first day we got to experience Helsinki, Finland. It started out somewhat dreary, but the sky opened up to create a beautiful day. As we wandered the streets on our own sort of day tour we noticed the incredible architecture of the city. The picture on the bottom is a photo of me in front of a very famous Finnish Cathedral, and there is a statue of Alexander the II directly behind me. Apparently they thought he was such a good ruler, his statue is one of the few people who have ruled that is still standing in Helsinki. On the top is another amazing Cathedral that we toured around. Unfortunately being a Sunday, all of the cathedrals were open for services, but no tourism, so the best we have is outdoor shots.
