Hmm, random thoughts.
-Can't watch a Mets game for the next 2 weeks unless I get some internet going and stream through sopcast, which this is the public internet and no ones on it because it's 6AM and I happened to be the only one up.
-Speaking of that, massive jet lag, even though I don't really feel it.
-I'm remembering my passion for real football (soccer to y'all).
-The temperature is perfect here, Finland for the next 2 days, then I'm off to Norway, where we'll be about 130 KM above the arctic circle, which tends to be a tourist attraction, but I love skipping that stuff, going straight onto the stuff people tend not to see, in this case Alta, a city on the Northern coast of Norway which has ancient cave drawings to the extent that modern artists would have had difficulty painting with readily available supplies right now.
-After that we head south 1800 KM where we have friends in Oslo, who we will be staying with, and she apparently has a fjord close to her, which we will have seen in Alta, but all of them are different so it's all good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fjord
-Then I hit up Sweden, a little town, about 4 hours from Stockholm, Malmö. We have friends there, and from there we are 1 and ½ hours from Copenhagen, and it happens to be quite an easy ride to Stockholm. (They have a key for ½, which is quite cool IMO)
-After we check out Copenhagen for a day, we go on to Stockholm where at the music festival we are currently at (my brother is a pianist) we met our tour guide of Stockholm, a 31 year old pianist from there.
-Past Stockholm there isn't much more, so we take a ferry back to Helsinki and have a hotel room 0.4KM from the airport, so that should make an easy trip. Hopefully I'll make it off the 12 hour ferry and the 9 hour plane ride safely and can be posting on this site regularly again.
