Our last night here - and at last I can spell the name without looking it up! We had a great dinner last night with Peppi, Anne, and Tarja in a Viking restaurant eating Rudolph, Bambi, and other exotic meats, and here I am wearing one of the silly hats!
And this photo is one of my favourite views looking down the mall from the University end - I wish I had the ability to capture sound with image (yeah yeah I know it is possible!!) because the main thing that hits us whenever we see this view is the lack of noise - no loud speakers from shops no yelling yes people are talking but it just seems so quiet compared to a mall in Oz. And yes bike riding is popular in Finland especially during the summer.On my school visit yesterday I taught a new word to the two lovely young men who showed me around - pushbike!!!
And so onto Tampere and then Helsinki and then Paris and then Sheffield! But the last photo is of two of our new friends, Anne and Tarja - will have to make sure the next pic has Peppi in it!
