A Day in Helsinki
I have so many posts to catch up on right now so I'm going to shorten this one. Jarkko, Nina, and I walked around Helsinki the next day after the party and our arrival from Stockholm. First, we stopped by the 1952 Olympic Stadium. Then we went to the National Finnish History Museum and I learned lots of information about Finland. Finland was ruled by both Sweden and Russia at different times. Finland declared its independence in 1917 and has remained that way since. We also stopped by Parliament and took a couple of pictures. We then went to Helsingin Tuomiokirkko (the big white Lutheran church) in the Senate Square. Then before heading back to Kerava, we made a quick stop to the Sibelius Monument!
