Travelog post for: Prajna

Hi Mom!

I'm going to give you a couple of updates today because it's been a while since I landed in Finland. First I'd like to tell you about a train ride that took me to a new city!

Very early on Wednesday morning we jumped in a train. It was still a bit dark but during those 2 hours on the train we could see the morning getting lighter. We got some cookies for breakfast





We arrived in Oulu at 8:30 and took a look around at the railway station.




From the station we proceeded to the city centre. In a small park we said hello to two cranes who were very noble guys indeed. From a white bridge leading across a small stream we saw something rather grand - it was the city hall. By the way - did you know that the city of Oulu is 499 years old?




We went closer to see the city hall and also saw the tower of the main cathedral in the city. It was opened in 1777 - that's quite long ago as well!





Lastly, my new friends took me to take a glance at Rotuaari, the pedestrian zone in Oulu. Hostmom said she'd take me back there some other day because we had to go on to run some errands and then leave Oulu for that day.



This was just a glimpse... I'll show you more later!

Lots of hugs,
Prajna
