HELSINKI, FINLAND

Enjoyed a beautiful warm day in Finland.  Spent a few hours at Porvoo which is an old world town comprised of small shops and a few restaurants.  We had a pretty bad lunch in an old farm house.  Highlight of our visit was visiting the local market and enjoying some local fresh berries and snacks.
