Following my post saying Hello to Finland yesterday, I was contacted by retired airline pilot, Matti. He sent me a link to lots of great photos, most of them of very interesting places in Finland.
I recommend that you check out this link, and scroll down to enjoy his images.

Lovely! Did you know that Finland is #1 in reading in the world? America is a sorry twenty-something.

I didn’t know that, Jennie. The only unusual fact I know is that the Finnish language is very similar to the Turkish language. That’s so weird! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Than you for the wonderful recommendation. I love Finland, but honestly i think there would be too much darkness for me. Love summer, sun and .. beach (The first and the last one is missed here, in Bavarian Siberia ;-(). Michael

Yes, they have the long dark winters. I think they would make me suicidal! Then there is the summer light, never getting dark. But they are supposedly the happiest people in the world. Maybe they drink lots of alcohol? 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
