Cheers!

Today I got to see the neighbourhood where my current hostfamily lives. They live by the Baltic Sea but it's not an open sea view like in some places where I've been as Finland has so much archipelago. I was told that the creator of Moomin spent her summers in this part of the archipelago. No wonder Moominpappa loves the sea! 

This winter has been the warmest ever in Finland. That's why there isn't much snow or ice. People are warned about thin ice every year (on tv and the papers) but this year it's quite obvious... at least here in southern Finland.

We walked thru the forest back home. That sign is interesting because it says "private area" - in the middle of the woods! Even my host thought it was weird
