On the train to Helsinki.
I had a comfortable enough berth for the evening.
Alexi, my Couchsurfing.org host in Finland. He and I got along marvelously.
There was a great map of the world laid out in downtown Helsinki.
Some sort of art show was tied to it.
We sneaked into a high rise to get views of the city.
A park near Alexi’s apartment.
The Helsinki Cathedral.
Emperor Alexander II of Russia.
I swear this telephone booth was floating when I took a photo of it. That might have something to do though with the alcohol (just one shot!) that Alexi had me try. Powerful stuff!
Alexi is strong.
The couch I slept on.
Alexi in his native habitat.
Wearing Alexi’s military barrette from when he served in the Finnish army.
The next morning I wasn’t feeling or looking to swell. This is me waiting for the ferry to Estonia.
