here is the beautiful helsinki cathedral, first at dusk and second in the wonderful sunshine on sunday (see the ice cream truck? ice cream! at church!):
the esplanadi is a beautiful walkway in the touristy area of town.
here is vanha kirkkopuisto, a little park near where i live.
some transport: outside the main bus station in helsinki, a city tram, and a metro train.
i have been going running along the water in the mornings, and i go by a lot of the ferry docks. one of the lines that goes to tallinn (estonia) is called SuperSeaCat.
take a closer look at the logo.
it's a fluffy kitty! not a fish. not a dolphin. not a dog or a member of any other species that likes to swim. what better way to reassure your customers of the seaworthiness of your vessel than to name it after an animal who hates even shallow sinks?
and here's a smurf-related soft drink i got the other day called smurffi. it smurfed my thirst quite well, and i got to keep the smurfy bottle.
